001: Jeff Lilley, Executive Pastor at Fullerton Free, former President of Seattle Union Gospel Mission and Nole's dad. Sep 01, 2020

Show notes

If you are feeling anxious about the future, about covid, the election, life in general, this conversation helped both Kevin and I personally with all those things and a lot more. This is a deep conversation that also manages to stay light and funny at the same time. We talk about so many things I cannot list them all here but the highlights are as follows: Jeff being mistaken for an active shooter and having police officers draw their guns on him, stories from his time working at a funeral home, going out to collect bodies for the funeral home, Santa Maria Tri-tip, marriage advice, parenting advice, the fact that it rains in Portland, how working for an ice cream shop leads to weight lifting, how to deal with mask mandates, knowing you are dying and the desire for a painful death, and too much other good stuff. Seriously, this is a long episode but worth every moment of your time, start listening now!
