S04 Ep01 - Kicking the Bucket List - Bishop’s Choice

Referencing the podcast episode ‘When Church stops working featuring Andrew Root’, our first episode back is one requested by Bishop Mark Edwards. We crack open the issue of the classic 'bucket list', and how that is essentially against the Christian life, as it focuses on what we can 'tick' off rather than how we can become a saint.
