This week we talk to author and pastor (not to mention Justin Bieber buddy) Judah Smith. He has a new book out called Jesus Is ___, and it’s one of the most talked-about books this year. We also spotlight singer/songwriter, Sandra McCracken. She’s performed on the podcast before (with her husband, Derek Webb), but this week we talk to her about her new album, Desire Like Dynamite. Other “highlights” include Jesse’s preparations for having a baby, stopping a Dunkin Donuts drive-through mugger and compelling infomercials.
