  12. Christians Are Judgmental - Misconceptions

    First in a long line of misconceptions is the idea that Christians are always happy. Join the guys as they dig into a popular criticism of the church today.

  14. Misconceptions of the Faith

  28. Morality

    Have you ever said to yourself, "I wonder what it sounds like when the TPM guys spitball a topic over a cup of coffee." Well then boy do have a special show for you! The guys get a little bit philosophical on this one. Tim Keller gives some inspiration to the plain men in some of his latest...

  29. Riches
