1:16:08

In today's episode, Chris and Caleb sit down and try to imagine what the perfect "hook" implementation might look like.

As a Christian, it’s important to have a strong faith foundation. The more you know about God, the more you learn about you. And people. And the world around you. How can we believe that, though?
