Overview
Shmuel may be wrong, but Shaan Sharma plays him so right. For five seasons now, he’s given us a complex character whose sincere faith and devotion make him the most outspoken critic of Jesus.
In this episode, Elijah serves up Shaan’s favorite snack and soda as they discuss his critical portrayal and what came before it…including a stint as a singer/songwriter.
