Tune in and see what you think concerning Mr. Sandlin’s assessment.

Episode 131: Recently, a post of a blog was published (see below) listing four (4) ways to encourage children to leave the church.

Episode 128: So some religious groups claim to have modern-day apostles – Mormons stand out as the main group, but some Catholics do and you can tune into Apostle Fredrick K.C. Price each week on TV.

However, the main position of members of the church of Christ has been that there are no apostles today (See “Are There Modern-Day Apostles” below). Today my friend and brother Sean Andrews joins me to discuss this subject.
