In this episode, Bruce and Jacob are joined by special guest Christian comedian John Branyan to talk about his defense of the Truth, particularly online! Strongly standing for the Truth and constantly pushing the antithesis is a difficult task, especially in today's age. Yet, it is the duty of a true Christian to do this... to plant seeds... to push against the gates of Hell.

Where did these ridiculous notions come from? What did the Founding Fathers think? And why should we care? All that and more in today's episode! --- Welcome to The Reformed Dissenters!
