The Riddle of Faith
Dale Riddle and his daughter, Tamson, invite you to listen in on their conversations about life and faith. Dale is a character like none other and has a lifetime of incredible stories to share. Tamson grew up as an “EK” (Evangelist’s Kid), immersed in the unusual world of her parent’s ministry. Join Tamson and Dale as they reminisce, as they discuss new ideas, as they challenge each other, and as they grapple with the wondrous, infuriating, enthralling mystery of God’s love.
