PODCAST

The Wooden Cricket Podcast

Welcome to The Wooden Cricket the only podcast where a dude from Winnipeg reds the Bible, talks about Jesus, and occasionally sounds like he’s recording from a basement ! Hosted by Laurence Houde, a 90’s raised, Jesus loving, deep thinking, occasionally over caffeinated guy, this show is about one thing: what jumps out at you when you actually read the Bible. No seminary degree required. Just a heart that’s hungry, a mic that’s working (mostly), and a Bible that’s open. You can expect: Real talk
