We’re excited to kick off episode 1 of As In Heaven with our guest, is Dr. Joel Hunter. Dr. Hunter is the retired pastor of Northland Church, one of the largest churches in the Central Florida area. He served at Northland Church for over three decades in addition to serving as the spiritual advisor for President Barack Obama. His impressive career is matched only by his humility and heart to serve the hurting and disenfranchised, specifically in Orlando.

In this interview, Joel talks about how Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination catalyzed his faith, he shares lessons he’s learned after 30 long years in ministry, and even gives us a glimpse into intimate interactions he had with President Obama.

Every minute of this episode is solid gold, and it was a privilege to have Dr. Hunter on the show.
