Church Misfit Podcast

Purpose is a funny thing. All of us desire purpose, but not all of us know where to find it, or even what it really means. Luckily our hosts (Joe Elliott and Zac Tinney) help answer these questions with the help of guests Tyler Schuetze and Mona Elliott, and together, they wrestle with the idea that purpose is a noun, not a verb, and that purpose is more about living out who we were created to be rather than completing a divine checklist.

Join us as Joe Elliott and Zac Tinney interview long time Catalyst friend and new Author, Tyler Schuetze, and review of his book The Awkward List. Filled with laughs, amazing stories, and deep conversations, you wont want to miss this!
