Have You Not Read?
“Have You Not Read?” is a podcast that seeks to answer your questions, on literally any subject, by shining the light of God’s Word on them. Pastor Michael is joined by a rotating line-up of guest hosts to tackle questions about theology, culture, current events and more. Our thesis is that Scripture is sufficient to give us the truthful answers to all of life’s questions. The Bible is a cogent and coherent whole that presents the only valid lens through which all of reality can and must be understood.
