About This Podcast
We are redefining (or more accurately stated - we are correctly defining), what being a Christian means. Too often who we claim to be has become nothing more than a matter of who we say we are, but who we really are has much more to do with what we do and how we live. The “On Being Christian” Podcast aims at removing the title “Christian” from being nothing more than a NOUN people use to define themselves and placing it back in the VERB category. Meaning it is an action that people practice to define themselves. This Podcast won’t be what you think it is, but you might find it is exactly what you need it to be.
