In this episode I talk to Tana Seufert of Nathaniel's Hope, an organization that helps churches provide respite breaks for families with special needs. Did you know that some families of kids with special needs have been asked not to come back to a church? You'll find out from our conversation why respite ministry is such a need for your community, how it works, and how your church can start a Buddy Break program too. I also got to hear from Tana about her daughter, Jennifer, who had special needs.

In this episode I spoke with Greg. He's the brother of a friend of mine. He was visiting from out of town so I snagged the opportunity to interview him. We had a great conversation about his church which has a service specifically for people at the residential place where he lives. We also talked about what heaven will be like, some Bible verses he has memorized and his favorite Bible story. You'll be intrigued, as I was, to learn about ‘box fishing'--something he invented to help with his job. I started off asking him about himself.
