The Coffee Shop: Recent Episodes
Lindsey Acosta
Coffee is one of my favorite things and the coffee shop is where I’ve had some of my favorite (and hardest) conversations. Grabbing coffee with a friend seems to be the easiest way to get together and so many of our conversations are had over coffee. I’ve laughed, cried, mourned, and rejoiced with friends as we sit across from one another, a coffee between us. So, I hope you’ll pull over a chair to my table and have conversations with me as well. I’ll be talking about all things Jesus-related: the good things, the hard things, and everything in between.
