Video: TLS Hangout “I Believe I Believe”
Last night's Potluck was fun, as always. We had a pretty full sitting as we gathered around the table and shared what each one brought. There's lots to chew on here... from God shaped holes to atheists who see angels to Jesus who walks on a donkey. Below the video are...
