Season 13, Episode 4: Paul vs. Peter
As we continue our season on Paul, we enter the Thunderdome as Paul and Peter butt heads. Is this dispute a Godzilla vs. Kong level throwdown, or is this simply a gentleman’s disagreement that has been blown out of proportion? Join us as we challenge ourselves to allow words like reconsideration and change to be avenues to get closer to God’s heart all while learning more than you ever wanted to know about circumcision in this polarizing episode.
