Welcome to the Layman's Theology Podcast where we discuss what is going on in the world around us and how we as Christians should be responding. Join James & Noah as we talk about culture, politics, and religion, and what it means to be true followers of Christ. We are not theologians, nor are we elders. We are simply two guys who attend church and serve where we can with a desire to see people be engaged with the world around us. We believe it is our responsibility as Christians to speak up about the things going on in our world and point out the ways that we as a church are falling short so that we can begin to see a change in our world today. The church is to be the example to the culture, and too often we see the opposite. Join us as we begin this incredible journey!

We want to hear from you! This is a conversation, not a sermon. You can reach out to us here:
