The Weird Christian Podcast
by Samuel Delgado
This is the show that covers all the weird christian stuff we typically don’t hear about from the pulpit or Sunday school classes. If you’re like me, your curious mind wonders, not only about the weird things we read about in the Bible, but also seeks to find biblical answers to all the weird things we see in world around us. So journey with me as I interview guests who are willing to share what Christ has done in their life and aren’t afraid to get a little weird!
