Down To Earth: Theology and Worldview for the Nooks and Crannies
Kelly Tarr brings Biblical theology down to earth and helps listeners build an increasingly consistent Christian worldview that fills the nooks and crannies of life, pushing it out to the edges. Jesus is the King over all our life; Scripture is sufficient for all of life; therefore, topics will also cover the gamut of the human experience!
