On this episode, I sat down with Steve and Nate, twin brothers separated by church and tradition. They recently released a book titled "Men Of God Men Of War": two journeys, two stories - and one shared vision. Nate learned his lessons through war and conflict; Steve learned his lessons through the twisting of faith.
