Taking God's Name in Vain isn't What You Think 02/26/2025

Taking God's Name in Vain isn't What You Think We start this podcast with a look at salvation. When does it happen? How does it happen? Can we see it in others?

We also look at what it means to take the Lord's name in vain. And what it means to live in a liminal space.
