Welcome to Further In, a podcast where Pastor Ben and members of our team take a deeper look at the scripture we studied this week at Passion City Church, D.C., and consider how to apply the truths of God's word to our lives.

Yeah, we'll probably cut all that, but if you're just joining us, we've been talking about sacrificing animals and various trips we've been on where we've had to end the life of an animal.

I would very much not like to be included in that narrative.

You weren't there?

I was not in any of these stories.

You have never taken the life of a single animal.

You could have just really injured a possum.

It was a Texas backroad. I was maybe not abiding by the speed limit. So I feel like he was a goner.
