Skeptics & Saints
The Skeptics & Saints Podcast is where we dive deep into the questions that skeptics and saints alike are asking. From controversy to theology, from culture to apologetics, this podcast is going to engage in real conversations to challenge skeptics toward faith and saints towards further growth. We tackle tough topics, explore Scripture, and wrestle with the realities of following Jesus in a world full of brokenness. If you’re looking for thought-provoking discussions, you’ve found the right place.
This is a podcast by The Garden Church in Surprise Arizona for Skeptics and Saints to consider the claims of Jesus.
