The purpose of our podcast is to sit  "Across the Counter " from people who are engaged in good work. Our filter for interviews is anyone laboring in the fields of whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable and praiseworthy.  In the spirit of keeping the conversation honest, we will also interview individuals and groups that do not hold the same ideologies that we share.

We have had interviews with Roman Catholic priests, musicians, authors, Pastors, and those generally classified as "deconstructionists". We do not wish to host a platform of debate or argument but rather a conversation where we listen to understand and ask questions that lead back to the cornerstone of truth, Christ Jesus. For us this means we host individuals who are "a good time" in every sense of the word. 

We will also be including conversations between Grant and myself, young men with young families trying to love Jesus with all our hearts. These Reflection conversations will be our "off the cuff" unpacking of our own hearts in response to the questions and exhortations brought up by our guests. We hope the overarching take away for our podcast is the question, "Who are you for?" instead of the prevailing mantra of our day "who are you against?"
