    Episode 13: Special Guest William Kamffer Journey From Preacher to Non-Believer

    In this Episode we had my friend and colleague, William Kamffer, back on the podcast to discuss his journey from being a preaching leader of his church to his eventual non-belief in God, and leaving the church all together. I also discuss my similar experience, but how in my end result I ended up back in church. We share two perspectives on the same topic, and I learned a lot from his point of view. The Weekly Bark is inspired by Ecclesiastes 9:4 where it states “Anyone who is among the living has hope —even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!” So while I am alive I wish to spread positivity to the world and celebrate other people who are doing that as well.
