This end of the year episode is a little peak behind the veil at how Pulpit To Pew gets made. Reverend Beverly Gibson and Johnny Gwin occasionally riff off the main weekly sermon lesson themes - sometimes they veer way off course - and we either keep these audio bits, or we trash them. They plucked this audio from Episode 32 - Once Upon A Tax recording and decided to share it with everyone on this 2016 wrap up show. Beverly and Johnny felt that this 10-minute conversation revealed the spark, purpose and breathe of this podcast. Johnny explains his Sabbadoodles, and Beverly discusses her sermon creation and how they both have evolved and transformed this year since starting Pulpit To Pew. Thanks so much for your ears and support this year, happy New Years and rev. Gibson and Johnny will see you stronger than ever in 2017.
