You're listening to the Jeff Kaven Show episode 155 do you simplify your life? How do you study the Bible?

All the way from motorcycle trips to raising kids, we're going to talk about the faith and life in general.

It's the Jeff Kaven Show.

And I want to welcome you to the show today coming to you not deep in the woods of Minnesota
