Ed Sheeran is the 2nd most streamed artist of the decade (behind Drake) and just wrapped up the highest grossing and biggest tour of all time. He's the real deal. Mike talks with evangelist Brian Rhude about why Ed Sheeran's one man show as well as his songwriting, is so compelling. We talk about death and mourning, love, vocation, Theology of the Body, soteriology, love, persecution, evangelization through beauty, and also make fun of each other a lot.
