Welcome to the first episode of Words That Speak! A Christian book review podcast that will unpack books, written by a variety of Christian authors, that are relevant to walking out the Christian faith.

Each episode we will hear from guest speakers who have read the same book and discover the words that speak to them in the book to encourage you to read it as well. This episode I am happy to introduce Alex Ielase Pastor of Students and Congregational Care at First Evangelical Free Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Alex and I go way back.  Learn how we met and why he has played such a critical role in my growth as a believer in Christ.
