This week on The Atrium Podcast, Judah is back! We kick things off by asking a big question: Is student ministry the same as it was eight years ago? Chad and Judah reflect on how culture, connection, and discipleship have shifted over the years — and what that means for leaders and students today.From there, we dive into a reaction to a clip of Andy Stanley teaching that our faith should be tethered to the event of Christ’s Resurrection rather than the inerrancy of Scripture. That conversation naturally leads us into our final topic: Can we really trust the Bible? We unpack the reliability of Scripture and what it means for believers who want a faith that stands firm.Don’t forget to share and tell your friends about another sensational episode of The Atrium Podcast!
