CRUX Episode 40 - Six Questions Every Pastor Gets Asked

Why do we practice closed communion? Do you wear that outfit in the shower? What does God let X happen to me if He really loves me? These are just a few of the questions Todd and Scott try to answer in this episode. Oh, and like the rest of the Internet, they also talk about Star Wars, ADD, and the craziness of random questions. Join us for episode 40 of The Crux of the Matter.
