Favored or Forsaken: Summer Camps
Dust off those one-pieces, start rehearsing those campfire songs, and pile into the church van because The Bible Binge is taking you to summer camp! In this most recent Favored or Forsaken episode we explore the history and the business behind summer camps to find out if there’s more to the experience than just a hot bunk bed in an overcrowded cabin. Join hosts Knox, Jamie, and Erin on a stroll down memory lane (that may or may not have been repressed) and find out why The Popcast Media Group owes its origins to summer camp!
