Welcome to the Same Jesus Podcast
We’re uniquely Foursquare, tackling what it looks like to live out our faith in Jesus today. We host conversations for the church in the midst of a noisy world, playing both sides against the middle, in pursuit of the One (Jesus) who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Whether we’re talking about our identity as Foursquare, tackling tough topics that sometimes divide, or just discussing current events and viewpoints, we hope you’ll join the conversation with us.
