Cooper and Cary Have Words with Adam Mabry, Lead Pastor of Aletheia Church Boston, MA. Adam's written words about hot topics within the church and how not taking sides doesn't just mean watering down your own convictions. He's previously written about the Art of Rest, so obviously Cary wants to have words about that.
