This podcast is primarily a collection of stories and conversations between best friends who are seeking Christ in their life and encouraging one another to be more godly men. We have a lot of fun with this discussing topics from the more absurd like time travel conundrums to deeper discussions about our faith and how it has impacted our lives. Above all, we strive to live our lives under the influence of Christ, and encourage our listeners to do the same!

The "Evidence" Brought Me Back | Under The Influence S6E22
Our Producer, Chris “Shibbs” Shibley shares his story of walking away from church, wrestling with questions about Christianity, and eventually finding his way back.
Jerry & Levi talk with him about his early experiences with faith, what pushed him away, the questions, the arguments, the evidence, and research that challenged what he believed. Shibbs also shares how God used the local church, and Christian brotherhood to draw him into a deeper faith.
If you’ve walked away from church, wrestled with doubt, or wondered whether Christianity can stand up to serious questions, this conversation is for you.
