Customer Reviews
Practical Application of Biblical Worldview
I have been a believer for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Christian school, and in the pews of church. My dad went to seminary, and was the founding Headmaster of the Christian school I attended. He became the Superintendent of the Christian school I graduated from. My parents taught me and my siblings faithfully, and instilled a love of doctrine and Jesus in us. I never lacked for education. With all of that, I still learn so much from this podcast. Granger has a way of answering questions that are easy to digest, and I actually use his answers many times with my children when they ask me a question. All of that to say, thank you and to God be the glory.
