Hansen for a heartfelt and at times spicy conversation about the church today. Rev. Hansen shares from his perspective as a pastor, husband, and father, giving us insight into the needs he sees in his congregation and the wider body of Christ.</p><p>We discuss the importance of apologetics in strengthening believers, the tragic murders of Iryna and Charlie Kirk, and what the church must do moving forward in a culture that is increasingly hostile to the gospel. This is a rich conversation that combines pastoral wisdom with cultural reflection, and one that will challenge you to think deeply about where the church is heading.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ep 003 Crow Burlingame]]></title><link>https://thelaymanapologist.substack.com/p/ep-003-crow-burlingame</link><guid
