Fire & Rice
The Holy Spirit podcast for truth-seekers, realists, and global misfits. Join Drew & friends as they wrestle with faith, science, Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and how to "get more" of God in our everyday lives. Described as “raw but not cynical,” weekly episodes offer spiritual food, fellowship, and laughter for those who love Christ in spite of all the nonsense.
Warning: Not for the dogmatic, those ok with the status quo, or those who don't love good food.
