Timmy talks about a philosophy of making meaningful connections that will eventually lead to a meaningful relationship. Just 2 meaningful connections a week leads to 10 meaningful connections a month, which leads to 120 meaningful connections a year. And from the 120 meaningful connections a year comes some 12 - 36 dates and from those dates comes the relationship you've been hoping and praying for! Enjoy!

Timmy has a delightful conversation with Author and Activist Drew Bekius, a former sold out Christian and follower of Jesus who spent years as an Evangelical Pastor, now identifies as an Atheist. His book, The Rise and Fall of Faith is a heartfelt story of his journey of faith, and eventually away from faith. It reads at first like a Chrisitian Book, very endearing and holds space for the Christian faith. In his book you will not find the common Atheistic bitterness and anger towards those of faith. It's a great read for both Christians and non-Christians.
