On Hand

Writer Jeff Chu on finding faith in good soil


Listen Later

West Michigan author and preacher Jeff Chu took the long way to the seminary. And once he got there, faith led him farther than he expected back out into the world. It all started with a compost pile on the seminary farm. 

On this episode, we’ll talk to Chu about his new memoir–titled Good Soil: The Education of an Accidental Farmhand–which details his journey into community, stewardship, and love of the land.

Jeff Chu, journalist, preacher and author of Good Soil: The Education of an Accidental Farmhand
