Summary: In this hilariously bold episode of the Dusty Boys Podcast, the crew tackles a controversial (and entirely tongue-in-cheek) topic: whether or not vegans can make it to heaven! Ben, Nick, and Justin riff on what it means to miss heaven over everything from work commitments to farm animals, drawing connections to the parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22. Get ready for a wild ride as the boys jump between playful banter and deeper spiritual insights, while things inevitably get dusty along the way.
