Do you have friends or a community you can talk to about religious ideas and the impact they have on yourself, society, and culture? If you answered, “No,” you are not alone. Imagine a space where you can catch up on religious news and stories; a space that encourages YOU to question and ponder new and different ideas in a way that inspires you to seek out the perspective of others. That space is this podcast, Between the Lines. It’s authentic, succinct and as simple as 1-2-3.

Tony Minear, Ph.D.

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away.
