Intentional Conversations with Mike Sandlin

Here is a recording of my interview by Mike Sandlin, executive director of Cape Fear Men in southeast North Carolina on January 19, 2021.

I was honored that Mike asked me to become part of his series of Intentional Conversations with prominent leaders in the men’s ministry space. I met Mike through my affiliation with NCMM, the National Association of Men’s Ministries. Enjoy this interview where Mike asks about my life verse, Proverbs 27:17, and how it led to creating the GodBuddies blog. Enjoy!
