The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)
Start Here: Introduction to the Early World (with Jeff Cavins)

Immediately starts questioning God.

The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)
Start Here: Introduction to the Early World (with Jeff Cavins)

And Adam doesn't say anything.

The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)
Start Here: Introduction to the Early World (with Jeff Cavins)

The obviously bad, yeah.

The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

What does she say?
