Ever wondered what it takes to truly connect with your spiritual side? Join the Bow Tie Guy and Bev as they dive into the lively debate of listening versus reading your Bible. This episode of the Mess It Up Podcast is a delightful blend of humour, personal anecdotes, and thoughtful discussions that make you ponder your own habits. The duo explores the idea of whether listening to an audiobook or having someone read to you counts as 'reading'.
