Baked in the Cake

By Baked in the Cake

Baked in the Cake is a Christian conversational podcast that talks about current topics ranging from religion, politics, current events and more. More specifically (and informally), we are two friends that like talking about things that interest us, especially when it comes to faith and politics. We find that there are so many things intertwined in our thinking around faith and politics that they are just "baked in the cake."

You can join us in the conversation by contacting us at bakedinthecakepodcast@gmail.com or by calling us and leaving a message at 210-596-9868.
