What does it really mean to be a Christian?

In this episode of Freeway Faith, Heather and Riley take one of their classic front-seat conversations on the road, covering everything from Bible name games and Tomodachi Life to a deeper discussion about Christian identity, church traditions, and what followers of Christ actually believe.

Along the way, they share stories about strawberry picking, volunteering at an animal sanctuary, discovering the history behind the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the importance of pursuing truth with humility, love, and respect.
