  <description><![CDATA[Welcome to Boots &amp; Bibles, a name born from two things I apparently cannot shut up about: Jesus and cowboy boots.

I’m your host, Angie… 
Full disclaimer: I am not a cowgirl. 
I’m not claiming to be Western. 
I have no cows… 
I have no chickens…
I have no horses… yet.

I just have a slightly concerning obsession with cowboy boots and an even bigger obsession with the Bible.

We’re talking Bible, apologetics, culture, difficult questions and probably a few opinions that are going to ruffle some feathers.

I don’t claim to know everything. 
But I do believe Christianity can stand up to hard questions and Christians shouldn’t be afraid to ask them.

So, boots on, Bibles open.

Let’s get into it. 🤠⚡️
