Ringside Preachers

Ringside Preachers

Enjoy thoughtful and humorous discussion about hot topics from God's point of view. You will hear some arguing, disagreeing and a little banter. Each pastor isn't afraid to call it like it is. Yet he also isn't afraid to change his mind! If you are not immediately enthralled we'll give you your money back!

God seems to like material! He made it. He made us. He comes to us through the manger and the cross. Instead of giving up something for Lent, perhaps we should practice appreciation for God’s gift of creation. Joel Hess from Ringside Preachers Podcast and Donavon Riley from Banned Books Podcast expose things you won’t hear in church. “The Ringers” talk philosophy, heresy, literature, art, and faith to expand your mind this Lent.

Die Hard Ringside Fans ONLY. If you are easily offended by tasteless jokes or terrible outdoor audio quality, this is not the episode for you. Straight out of the FORT, Ringside is LIVE with too many visits from our old friend, the concerned seminarian. Light your stogie, sit back, and as usual: we apologize.
