Red Couch Theology

Alex is Judgmental about Pickleball | Red Couch Theology

Hello, Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology Podcast. This week, we're diving back into the sermon on the Mount proper and I'm super excited because we're gonna review this really interesting passage that offers us some tension, some confusion, some curiosity.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast, where we forget to turn on the volume at the beginning.
