The dynamic trio continues their exploration of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, focusing on the characters Ignorance and Little Faith. Join Jonathan, James, and Jeff Stivason as they unpack the complexities of faith and ignorance in the Christian journey. Discover how Ignorance, despite his good deeds, remains blind to his spiritual state, while Little Faith, though struggling, embodies the essence of a genuine believer.

Ignorance is someone who knows the Lord's will and lives well, but lacks true understanding of his status before God. – Jeff Stivason

This thought-provoking discussion reveals the nuances of faith, fear, and the importance of companionship on the pilgrimage of life.
