The Village

Roman and James

The saying is true, "It takes a village to raise a child." We all grow up in different ways. The creators of this podcast grew up in different states, lived in different family environments, and had different views on church. Roman grew up never missing a single Sunday, while James maybe went for Christmas and Easter. However, now, both attend the same church and have leadership roles. How did they get here? How does their upbringing change their perspective on the church and other Christian-related topics? How did the village that raised them so differently lead them both to serve God? They discuss this and more in each episode
