God & Whiskey Episode 11

In episode 11 of the God & Whiskey Podcast, Evan and Drew talk about the church and share a couple of scotches. Drew gives Evan endless grief for his choice, and Evan attempts to defend while they talk about the church. Why does the church matter? What is the church about? To what extend should the culture shape the methods and content of the church? Does the space in which worship happens make a difference? We discuss - and perhaps rant about - all this and more in this episode, a natural follow-up from the last two episodes about baptism and communion. The good news is: the church is of God and will be preserved until the end of time.
