Howdy, friends! On this episode of Carrying My Cross Podcast, I discuss my love of music and how it's affected my upbringing, my faith, and everything in between. We also do another 3:16, this time counting ourselves some Levities in Numbers 3:16. And somehow, someway, I mine valuable truth from a less than popular piece of Scripture. Enjoy!

This is the week the Lord's provided and it's time for yet another edition of Carrying My Cross podcast! This week, I provide a life update, talk glowingly about Luke 4:1-13 and do a brand new 3:16 on Leviticus. Is the third book of the Bible completely skippable or can we find some modern truth in this ancient text? Let's find out together!

On this episode, I have a one on one conversation with my best friend of over 35 years, Joe Corio. We talk about growing up Catholic, the twists and turns of our faith journeys, the wonders of a good Youth Group, and how we're doing spiritually today. Two people with similar arcs and backgrounds who found themselves to Jesus in markedly different ways.

In part one of my three part testimony, I discuss growing up as a cultural Roman Catholic in Northern New Jersey, finding myself in spite of myself, and how religion of any kind became a non-factor for me, despite society's attempts to make it so. If you've ever wanted to learn more about me, this is a prime time to do so.
