Podcast 


How To Not Marry A Jerk
Nate & Rachel Swanson, of New City Church, lead a counterculture conversation about preparing for and embracing God’s best version of your future marriage. Although quite intentional and insightful, the chat often wanders into humorous and ridiculous moments, just enough to maintain the attention of those leading it. Listen for every hint of love, because it kinda gets intense!

The Ten Minute Bible Hour
If you're interested in understanding the Bible better and you prefer your Christianity quick and punchy with a healthy side of humor, and an equally healthy side of me not telling you what to do, we're probably going to get along great.
This is my podcast where we pick a book of the Bible and then break it down one part at a time every weekday morning.
