Tuesdays with Tata Classic: Deep Dive Into Worldview and Theology

A replay of Tuesdays with Tata #2, to finish off the discussion we had last week on the essential question for new listeners: "Who is Tata?"

Dennis McDonald, otherwise known as "Tata" to grandkids, friends, and people all over the world, is the namesake of our regular Spiritual Brain Surgery feature, Tuesdays with Tata. He's also my father-in-law, and sidekick for over 20 years, and I'm so grateful for the time and wisdom he shares with us here!

Enjoy!
