305 - Todd Burpo: God Is For Real

Todd Burpo is for real. He is the real deal. We have an amazingly deep conversation about his journey through the book and movie "Heaven is for Real". And, in his new book "God is for Real", Burpo answers some of life's most difficult questions. Why are there are so many hypocritical church people? Why do Christians make such a big deal about the cross? Why doesn't God seem to answer our biggest prayers? People are tired of pat answers offered up in churchy language explaining away their questions; we want the down-and-dirty truth. What bothers us about life and faith is real and gritty. We need a plain-spoken voice to offer God's answers to difficult struggles and painful doubts. Todd charges into these subjects with a fireman's courage, a small-town friend's vulnerability, and a local pastor's compassion. He helps articulate the questions people have, then gives them relevant biblical wisdom for taking their next steps in faith.
