Ordinary Believers
Welcome to the Ordinary Believers Podcast - we're a simple arm of what will become a much larger vision, goal, business, ministry and outreach - and we're here to talk about God. Taylor and Cory have been having conversations about our faith and God for years in our respective basements and now it's time to take that out into the world. We want to start conversations where conversations usually end - at the things that we don't understand or comprehend. We aren't pastors, we aren't theologians, we are just regular guys who love God and want to talk about it with you.
