18: Messy Community, Reading Judges, & Christian Academia with Dave Beldman

Dave is a Professor at Redeemer University and did his Ph.D. work in the book of Judges. He also rides a motorcycle which probably makes him the coolest person I’ve chatted with so far. Dave’s knowledge of the Old Testament is phenomenal and I found our conversation incredibly valuable and a ton of fun.
