We asked countless people to join us and we had to settle for Patrick Mead from Rochester, Michigan.  We think Patrick is UnbeatablePatrick will amaze you in this engaging conversation.  You can find him all over the internet.  Here is his personal blog.  Here is where he answers your questions on Tentpegs.  And here is where you can find the church he serves and listen to his own podcasts. 

 You will want to listen to this episode more than once.  Patrick will pick you up, make you laugh, make you think, and then leave you wanting more.  We wander the spectrum of relationships and things that are happening in the church.  We might even discuss that one store that supposedly represents the ultimate American shopping center.  Grab some coffee or burn it to cd and put this in your car, you are guaranteed a smile!

Special Thanks to Chris Gallagher of the PreachersPen for his kind introduction to this weeks show.  Find him here at the PreachersPen.
