Marriage Thoughts: Featuring Newlyweds Grant and Hannah Senechal | Ep. 125 by Revolutionary Ruckus Podcast

After posting a whole eight episodes in 2021 we are hoping to start stronger into 2022! Today we discuss some topics over the past three years of podcasts that we have either changed our minds on or felt needed to be expanded on further.

Commenting opinions on social media. 2. The movie rating system as it relates to kids. 3. The evil history of slavery that we should no longer hold guilt for. 4. What level can women serve as leaders in the Church? 5. What is prayer good for? 6. Can we ignore laws/mandates we deem unjust/illogical/unbiblical?
