E830 | Be a Martian

We are all living in a global moment of massive instability. Culture, technology, and constant chaos actually are conditioning us against God. The result is a growing sense of restlessness, weariness, and disillusionment. John and Allen describe how the only rational response for believers in this world gone mad is to risk looking weird as we pursue God above all else. In other words, you must choose to be a martian!Show NotesThe two Wild at Heart podcast series featuring Mark Sayers released June 16th and June 23rd, 2025.
