Today’s podcast will stir your heart, mind and soul. We are continuing our series on the Radical Jesus and have been for the last two weeks studying the radical nature of truth.

The truth is revolutionary to the spiritual, moral and intellectual life of an individual or people. It transforms the person that in turn becomes an agent of change in the world. Its time for you to have a spiritual revolution.
