What am I drinking and thinking? I love whiskey, beer, theology and history. I'm also an IT geek by trade, so that may come up. I'm a Moderate Christian, and that makes it hard to fit in. That's the real crux of this. Where is "home" when everything is uncomfortable? Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boozeandviews/support
