Spiritual, but Not Religious: What It Really Means- and Why it Matters

from Beards & Bible Podcast · host JoshBrooker/GabeRutledge

We’ll also look at the surprising ways this trend could be good for the Church and the major challenges it presents.   If spirituality has become a curated experience, what happens when God doesn’t fit our custom order?
