Off Grid Christianity

Off Grid Christianity is a podcast for those who want Christianity through fresh eyes and are looking beyond the brick walls of the Church. This Podcast series is to encourage the listener through conversation with a different guest every week. Here, we meet those who have made their faith count where it matters the most.
