Podcasts by Reading Christian Texts
The aim of this podcast is to encourage the reading and study of Christian texts.
I choose the texts based on the interesting nature of their subject matter, as well as the beauty of their prose. This isn't to say that I agree with everything they say - I, the reader, am choosing to remain anonymous and keep my own opinions to myself. However, no matter what one's opinions might be, everyone can glean spiritual wisdom and scriptural knowledge from these texts.
God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.
