Troy is out of the saddle this week, but Craig wrangles author and all-around good guy, Ray Keating, to sit down and talk about his new book, “Menace – an Agen Dean Cold Novel.” Keating’s book is not only immensely engrossing and entertaining, but it’s also provocative, asking questions like, “What would happen to the Christian Church if intelligent life from another planet came to Earth?”

Well, he's the one who tells us we are of equal standing in faith with the apostles and all the saints. We are of equal standing of righteousness even with Christ, because Christ has called us in and by His own glory.
