Join us for a new segment that we will release occasionally examining a simple question: What is one of the strangest things you have ever done for the sake of ministry and what did the Lord teach you through it? Join host Joe Epley and a lay leader Travis Gilmore as we dive into the Great Turkey Massacre of 2018.

As always, if you want to reach out to the show with feedback, encouragement, or ideas, contact our host Joe Epley at joseph.g.epley@gmail.com.
