On this episode, the crew welcome in Associate Pastor Damien Giacchino (@dgiacchino) of Real Life Church to talk about his journey in Christianity.

We get the crews opinion on the matter, with Pastor Dame chimming in and Priest D taking the left of left turns while discussing the matter (11:05). We also get to hear Pastor Dame shares his testimony around some of his insecurities growing up, his understanding of masculinity, the series of events that led him to turn his life around (including his 4-month vacation in San Quentin), the challenges of fatherhood and how his extremest approach to life serves his dedication to God. The episode ends with the crew discussing the merits of children using Mr. and Ms. to address their elders (1:54:00). We get to hear Pastor Dame’s opinion on this.
