About the Podcast

Dummy for Theology
One dummy's struggle to worship God with his mind
We can worship God with our minds by pondering the things of God, who He is, and how creation relates to its Creator. If you are looking for a podcast with all the answers about God and Theology, this is not the show for you! But, if you are looking for a show that will leave you with more questions than answers about the Divine, so you can struggle to worship God better, then join me in my adventure to love God better with my feeble brain!
