Phil Drysdale is an author, a speaker, the son of a pastor, a Bible studier, a truth seeker, and some would say, a heretic. Phil is asking the questions of his faith that many Christians are afraid to ask, because the truth usually isn’t in line with the mainline dogma, and he’s talking about it with anyone and everyone that will listen. Phil’s websites, thegracecourse.com, and phildrysdale.com are completely free resources with videos, blog posts, and interviews that talk about meaningful topics, such as “what does the Bible say about being gay?” (hint: not much at all) and “what does faith even mean”? Phil is brilliant and kind and I’m so excited for you to meet him! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
