The Contraratics

Come along with us as a gun nerd and a beer nut talk about cultural/political issues as well as review some drinks we enjoy. We believe that Christ is Lord over all things so we see nothing as off limits to discuss. While you may not agree with everything we say, maybe something that is said sparks a thought or challenges you in some way. We don't mind laughing at ourselves either.
