FAD&DAD are back on the recording train today and here is the real question: if FAD&DAD had some low-key podcast merch or apparel, you would...

"Like" = "yeah I would support that"
"Love" = "where and when can I order?"
"Laugh" - "Fool of a Took!"

A new post on the FAD&DAD blog from the heart of 'dad', Josh Burks.

“In this way the apostles did not preach another God, nor another Fullness, nor one Christ who suffered and then rose, and another who flew upward and remained impassible, but one and the same God the Father, and Christ Jesus who rose from the dead. They also preached faith in Him to those who did not believe in the Son of God; and with the prophets as sources they exhorted them to the effect that God actually sent Jesus as the Christ He had promised, whom they crucified, but whom He raised up.”

- Irenaeus, “Against Heresies,” 3.12.2.
