Disembodied Beard The Podcast - DISEMBODIED BEARD

Mark and Logan talk about human despair, service, poverty, homelessness, and creativity on the Internet.

Mark and Logan are a little lost in this episode and Barnes and Nobel knows why. We ask how changes in our psychology change our relationship to, or concept of, God. We also ask if it’s possible to have a conversation with Uncle Bob across seemingly unbridgable social and political difference. Is Uncle Bob a monster? Can we love him and keep our pearls to ourselves?

All of this is finished off with a theology of emobdiment regarding our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
