What should you read this summer? Matthew, Mike, and special guest Brynette Yee, have some ideas for you! There is no book like the Bible but we all learn from the ministry of others, including ministry that comes to us in written form.

Sin is no small thing in the eyes of God – nor should it be to us. And not only is God interested in our confession of sins to him, He calls on us to make things right with the people that we have hurt with our sin. Guest host Marcus Cain joins the podcast to help us learn these lessons from our concluding consideration of the five main Levitical offerings.
