    S1/E3 “Waiting on a Trial…” In this episode, Pastor Dan talks about the challenges our communities are about to face with the impending trial that resulted from the death of George Floyd this past summer.

A follow-up "Debrief" episode, a conversation with Pastor Dan and Pastor Matt will be aired later this week as they share their reflections on the message as well. ...

Today you will hear the process used by my cohost, Pastor Matt.
