We'll talk about suffering, evangelism, work, sexuality, culture, and so much more.<br /><br />In this inaugural episode, Paul will introduce you to his co-host for every episode, Shelby Abbott. Shelby is an author, radio host, campus minister, and conference speaker on staff with FamilyLife, a ministry of Cru. His passion for university students has led him to speak at college campuses all over the United States and author the books "Pressure Points: A Guide to Navigating Student Stress", "DoubtLess: Because Faith is Hard", and "What’s the Point?: Asking the Right Questions about Living Together and Marriage".
