Description

What is the good life? It consists in becoming a good person. It is actually possible to become a really good person, but it will involve changing who we are on the inside, our inner character. This is what Jesus means in Matthew 23:26 when he explains we must first clean the "inside of the cup," and if we do, our outward behaviors will be good naturally. Come join us at Inside The Cup Podcast for an engaging and down to earth conversation between a married couple about how you can become a disciple of Jesus and learn to do the things he taught by changing what's "inside of us."
