Summary

An impostor host has taken over! Only his second time on the show and he wants to call all the shots! Tune in to hear who our first-time honorary host is as Carl, Aimee & Todd discuss the invisible Church. So who decides who's in or who's out of the Church?

Bodies are important, so its pertinent we put those bodies in a pew on a regular basis!The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals would like to offer you a free MP3 download entitled Reformation of the Church: Future of the Bright New Church by Craig Troxel.
