On today’s episode, we look at the COVID-19 pandemic through two lenses. One is a very personal story, and the other takes a much wider view. We’ll hear from a pastor who has presided over the funerals of more than 20 victims of COVID-19. And we’ll talk to a West Michigan reporter about why hospital capacity is more complicated than just one number.

GUESTS:

Jerry Bishop is the  senior pastor at LifeQuest Urban Outreach Center in Grand Rapids.

Dustin Dwyer is the West Michigan reporter for Michigan Radio.
