2 1/2 years at LBT for a pastor and his family and how it changed their lives forever. But God isn't finished yet. I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with Heidi as much as I did.
My thoughts on the drama that took place over the weekend concerning Bob Gray II and Eric Skwarczynski of the Preacher Boys Podcast.
Mindy finishes recounting how she tried to help bring about the change she believed the pastor had envisioned, but found, ultimately, that what she had in mind was not what her pastor had in mind at all.
Finishing up my conversation with Levi, working through updates and glitches, sacrificing goats, and lessons learned from hound dogs. This episode has it all! hope you enjoy!

I shared time at LBT with James. I attended LBT from the time I was 1.5 years old until I graduated from the school at the church, then I left. I had, and still have a difficult time dealing with the concept of church as a community, and God as gracious and merciful. This was not modeled for us at this church. James knows who I am.
