The Front Line with Joe & Joe
by thefrontlinewithjoeandjoe
Joe & Joe welcome guests to their “kitchen table” to talk about faith and culture from the perspective of the everyday man. Not afraid to take sides and tell it like it is, the conversation with these two “average Joes” is everything but average… providing both intellectual stimulation and a gut punch, the dialog always leaves its mark.
