Discussing the idea of, and one’s connection to, God is the central area of discussion for this episode and Mike is joined by none other than BZ The Voice and Tonya Todd – “B And The T” or “BZ & Double-T”!

This week, in part 1 (part 2 will be out next week, but is available now on Patreon), the conversation starts by BZ & Tonya defining their own religious/spiritual beliefs and BZ explains why he is so open with his love of God, before Tonya explains her connection with God and asks Mike why he has embarked on so many religious discussions recently. After BZ talks about being inquisitive, Tonya & BZ explore attributing achievements to God while still putting the effort in and listening for God’s guidance.

In part 2 (out next week) the trio’s discussion on God continues, with BZ and Tonya explaining how & where their current relationship with God started, before talking about how they perceive God, when they feel closest to God, combating adversity, favourite “religion” places, why Tonya continues to believe there is a powerful presence in all of ours lives and so much more!

In part 2 of Mike & Dom’s chat, they continue their discussion on gun laws, plus they speak about war, religious extremism (and how first world countries are often the cause of people getting involved with extremism), their opinions on religion – with Mike being an atheist and Dom being a christian it makes for a great discussion!
