TRS07 - For the Love of Falafel
This is by far the best podcast episode that we have released in November of 2019...and you can take that to the bank. We get very "real" in this episode...some personal confession stories and honesty about our mistakes and shortcomings. But to be fair, we also get very real about Jesus and the Bible. See, something for everyone! Listen or be mauled by hyenas.

In Episode 4 of Bus Banter, Disciple has a great hangout time with the legendary, muscular Jeremy Camp. This episode is shorter than most because the whole band didn't have a chance to record the opening/closing segments like normal, so this episode features a short intro with only Josiah (sorry). It's the holidays anyway - who has time to listen to all five of us yelling and cackling over each other?
