This one is a doozy, folks. I have been thinking about this chat for a month, so pumped to share it with all of you. Bud and Melody Winderweedle are amazing humans that just carry an energy of welcome and love that is palpable. They lead and co-pastor a community in Chattanooga called Ekklesia, and it’s humming with good stuff. Bud and I talked about so many things (and didn’t even get to some of the cool things I like about him, not least of which is the fact that he brews beer), but I think we both summed it up in the desire to keep digging for the real and for hope.

This is basically a podcast tag-team with To/From and Bud’s new project, the Roots & Branches podcast. It was a delightful experience to co-interview one another, I hope you’ll be uplifted by it.

Check out the Roots & Branches podcast at the link below and everywhere you stream!

If you’re in Chattanooga and want to hangout with a safe, open and welcoming community of folks that want to see love and justice flow, I think Ekklesia is wonderful. Find Bud as @budwinderweedle on Twitter.

See you very soon!
