The Burros of Berea Podcast

The Burros of Berea Podcast

The Burros of Berea is a conversational podcast. We study the Bible and we talk about it. Not all of us are of the same faith and one of us doesn't actually have one. We all love one another and are going to continue to talk about these things. The things we believe in and what we believe about what we read in the Bible. Not all of these things are true, some of them are opinion and speculation. Thank you for listening and speculating with us!
