On this episode we continue our conversation of the list of some of the small things on Steve\u2019s mind like eternity, the Old Testament and the New Testament and what things we\u2019re supposed to get out of them, and what does it mean to talk to God.

We\u2019re just barely getting in to these topics, but we plan on diving deeper on all of them in the future, and we really want to know your thoughts, comments, questions, and concerns. So PLEASE send us an email at FollowingTheFirePodcast@gmail.com - we\u2019d love to hear from you, maybe answer your questions or work your comments into a future episode.
