“Is This Real?” The Doubt Every Believer Hides | Episode 203

"Is this real?" It's a question that hit one of us in the middle of reading scripture, and one we had to ask each other out loud. In Season 2, Episode 3 of A Lil' R&R, it's just the two of us: a father and son talking about what we think gets passed down the least. We usually hand down money, land, and work ethic. Faith is the one we miss. We get honest about growing up legalistic, the doubts nobody warns you about, what to do when a grown child walks away, and why there's no guarantee for any of us. If you're a dad, a son, or anyone sorting out what you really believe, this one's for you. Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode. New episodes drop every other Friday.
