The Faith and Action Podcast seeks to point people to God by connecting them to a Gospel-centered community that is Christian Union at Penn. We seek to both provide Christian Union with more resources to connect and grow as a community and provide encouragement and information for people outside of Christian Union who are looking in. Disclaimer: The views of the hosts and speakers do not necessarily reflect the views of Christian Union as a whole. We are all seeking to know God better, but unfortunately we may make mistakes. Comments and feedback can be sent to faithandactionpodcast@gmail.com.
