Plain Truth: A Holy-Spirited Podcast
David Watson
This is a nerdy, funny, informative show featuring Maggie Ulmer, Scott Kisker, and David F. Watson. We love to talk about all things Christian, and especially Methodist and Wesleyan. We're particularly interested in the work of God today through the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the ways in which God is renewing the church all over the world. If you're into theology, Bible, evangelism, or Christian ministry, or you just want to know more about the way Jesus is changing lives through power and work of the Holy Spirit today, we think you'll like our podcast.
