Welcome to Verity. I'm your host, Felicia Masonheimer, an author, speaker, and Bible teacher.

This podcast will help you embrace the history and depth of the Christian faith,

And so we're going to look at some of those major theories in this episode. This will also be

transcribed and added to the blog, just so you guys know, I've been working hard to get all of our

podcast episodes transcribed and uploaded to the website, FeliciaMasonHimer.com, and so far,

I believe we have added almost all of them. So if you enjoyed the Canon series, the Women's

Issues series, or any of the episodes in this theology series, those episodes are all on the
