Hello everyone,

My name is Zach Wilcox and welcome to The Discerning

Christian Podcast, where we will be taking a close look at many theological and

political topics which effect Christians today. In full disclosure I do not

posses any credentials in theology or political science, but I have been

involved in the church and in Christian leadership positions over the years.

The purpose of this podcast is to discuss the Christian worldview in a way that

anyone can understand. You can expect many different episodic series to come

out as well as discussions on various contemporary issues in the church today

such as ecumenism, eschatology, and the Christian response to post-modernism.
