Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb. And today we're joined by a special guest, Dr. Stephen Paulson. Dr. Paulson has a podcast on the podcast network now, the 1517 podcast network. It is the Outlaw God podcast. Go to 1517.org forward slash podcasts to check that out.

You can also subscribe to the Outlaw God podcast on your favorite podcasting apps.
