The Messy Pew
By The Messy Pew
A podcast from two Christian guys trying to work out what all the Church stuff means. If it means anything much.
The Messy Pew podcast is about drinking beer (or cider if you're gluten free), parenthood, geekery, and looking at the Christian faith, with more questions then answers.
Andy might not be as funny as he thinks. He's sorry about that.
