UFC 250, Flag Fear, Christian Nationalism and Bio Labs | Brand New Podcast

America turns 250, and Pastor Shannon O'Dell is fired up about it. In this wide-ranging episode the crew works through some of the biggest questions in the church right now — women in ministry and the SBC vote, why Shannon says Mormonism isn't Christian, and whether baptism actually saves you — before turning to the heritage behind the Star-Spangled Banner, election integrity, the Iran situation, and America's first trillionaire. It's a long, honest, no-script conversation. Grab a coffee and settle in.
