The Trey Gowdy Podcast

How did the Apostle Paul’s letters inspire a novel about a "one-man killing machine" and the eternal battle for the human soul?

They explore the "atomic bomb" of the ancient world—the early Christian faith—and why life, both on the page and in our minds, remains a constant battle.
