    The Holy Bible: Too Important To Ignore | S6E18

    Levi and Jerry react to a recent video from the Book-Tuber  @DanielGreeneReviews   and discuss the importance of God's word and the impact that it has not only on individuals but also the culture. Daniel Greene is an agnostic Book-Tuber and recently he drove across America and listened to the entire New Testament, then released a series of videos containing his thoughts on it. There is so much to be gained as Christians from watching through his honest and humble engagement with scripture and we are so blessed to see the way Daniel is thinking through scripture rather than shrugging it off as many do. The guys wrap up with a clip of John Lennox from  @TheDiaryOfACEO  podcast Enjoy!
