This is Kyle Worley, and I'm joined by my co-host, Jen Wilkin and J.T. England.

How's it going, Jen? You doing all right, Jen? I'm doing great. How about you?

Great. Just, I'm doing great. I'm doing great.

JT., you doing okay?

Doing great.

No, actually, we've had a delightful summer. We're not sure why, and it's going to break me when next summer is not like this summer.

But we've had a great one. It's supposed to be. I saw one forecast says it's supposed to be in the 80s next week. Wow. That'd be great. That would,

that'd be fantastic. Jen, somebody recently told me they were a graduate of Texas A&M and they were a 2%er.

topics and questions that are a little bit tricky and a little bit thorny and you might go well what makes

a real christian that seems like a pretty simple question that doesn't seem like a tricky topic

but it is trickier than it first appears to be. And if you want to learn how to think

theologically about everything, including tricky topics and thorny questions, go check out

theology is for everyone and we want

everyone to learn how to think theologically about everything, even the questions that appear to be

simple, but aren't like what makes a real Christian. So let's just start there. Let's make it
