In every episode, this podcast attempts to give biblical answers to the three main questions in life. What is truth and how can we be certain? Where do we find meaning and hope? What do these answers do in practicality? More Than That accomplishes this through a variety of means including interviews, talks, and short devotionals. As you listen, you will find that the answers the Bible provides are more than what you thought before.
