It’s the final stop on our Least Likely Church Podcast road trip for the final episode of season 1.

We also discuss whether the volume of music can give you cancer.

Hot topics of this episode include how long it takes to digest gum, how to intentionally plan a service and what items you’d take on a desert island (hint: it can’t be Conda’s mom).
