EP 040 Magnum Maxims, LONG and UNCUT
Guys, it's just like the title says, we're dishing out maxims on living the Christian life magnum (i.e. great) in their nature, and this episode is long and has not been cut down to be shorter.

It's 1.4x longer than what you're used to, and we're told that's a good thing. Send questions to [email protected] <3
