When I Visited a Church and Was Asked to Stand and Greet People

Listen Later

For those who know Thom, you know he is an introvert. You might also know he would rather have a root canal than experience the “stand and greet” time in a worship service. He recounts the time he visited a church and why he hopes he never has to return.
