Richard Mendelow
The intersection of our faith and the world is a battlefield. It’s scattered with the debris of a fallen world and it challenges even the hardiest of souls. And yet this intersection is the context of our faith.
You will find yourself at this intersection, so you’ll want to tune in every Saturday to Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow at 10:30 am right here on 100.7 FM KKHT, KKHT.com, or iHeart radio.
