This is a special, re-edited edition of a talk called "Haunting" that Jay gave back at Bryant-Lake Bowl, on May 12th, 2019.When Jay originally gave this talk, Caleb and Robert's nagging insistence that Afterglow should not be a separate podcast--but a segment of the main Revolution podcast, had not yet convinced Jay, so in this version, the talk and the afterglow are at last connected.Also, in response to the number of recent requests for the inclusion of some sort of original music from an artistic congregation member, we decided to try to get the ball rolling with a simple little baby step, by including some of Caleb's original acoustic music in this edit.Hope you enjoy. Open to any feedback, suggestions, or constructive criticism, as we try to incorporate more of the congregation’s original expressive art into our services. Much love!!@revolutionchurchmn@jaybakker@revolutioncalebwww.dirtdoctrine.bandcamp.comwww.revolutionchurch.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
