  • Role models and the perils of Christian culture
    Oct 16 2020

    Hey everyone! 

     

    New episode. This week, Joe and Chris answer a listener's questions about whether Joe considered himself as a role model during his Insyderz days. That leads into a long discussion about the nature of role models, growing in faith (and losing it), and the inherent complications of combining faith and art. Give it a listen!
