Description

In the midst of a world stuck in right versus wrong, left versus right, good versus evil, we are having conversations about a THIRD option. It's the option of the Jesus-kind of LOVE and it's something we aren't hearing enough about. Join us in exploring current topics concerning culture, politics, religion and social issues with the THIRD OPTION in mind.
