Plus, well, if we were to list the topics that the guys get into, you wouldn&#39;t believe us. Stuff like Steven Seagal&#39;s big con, horse sports, the new Tiger Woods of darts, people in Ft.

Today we&#39;re joined by Max Ranier from indie folk band Wilderado. We talk about his faith journey — and of course how it influenced their upcoming sophomore album. But as good as that convo is, if there&#39;s one moment that&#39;s going to be talked about from this episode, it&#39;s this: Church prom.
