Under The Influence
This podcast is primarily a collection of stories and conversations between best friends who are seeking Christ in their life and encouraging one another to be more godly men. We have a lot of fun with this discussing topics from the more absurd like time travel conundrums to deeper discussions about our faith and how it has impacted our lives. Above all, we strive to live our lives under the influence of Christ, and encourage our listeners to do the same!
