GUEST SERMON: the Leavening of Grace feat. Oliver Hartner
Description
Oliver Hartner - environmental activist, writer, and veteran - preaches from his soul, telling personal stories of growing up in the prejudices of the deep South, even in the church, but how that same church and the Eucharist gradually transformed him.
