Two PhD theologians with tendencies towards red wine, real scotch, and hilarious (humble) banter tackle your theological questions as well as our own day to day musings. Sounds like a good time to me (humbly). All opinions, thoughts, terrible jokes, etc are our own and not representative of our respective institutions.

Leah Robinson and Kristy Whaley
