In Episode #2, we talk Miley Cyrus, parenthood, the “They” in the church, politics and witchcraft, the Tea Party, meat overloads, Christianese, Avatar, and cheesy movie quotes. We also play Desert Island, answer some voicemails, and interview Anne Jackson – speaker and author of Mad Church Disease and Permission to Speak Freely!
