From the publisher
The Bully Pew Podcast is a candid discussion about how to walk as a faithful Christian man in the pews. In the face of a culture that is actively hostile to true biblical masculinity, how do men serve and support their local church and come alongside their brothers who are serving in the pastorate? Join Protestia's David Morrill as he applies the Bible to the life of the ordinary, modern Christian man.
