Joel and Troy answer questions from you, the listeners!

We have never done an episode like this but listen up as we answer:

• Why don't we have episodes featuring women speakers?
• How did we meet? (And how we met our spouses!)
• Who we think the most heretical preachers in history are?
• How does the food in Indonesia compare to China?
• What figure in church history most impacted our spiritual walks?

And several others! If your question didn't get answered, you can still send them to us.
