<p>We just couldn’t fit all the nice things Molly has to say about this book on the back cover—so she’s back as our guest host to interview our regular host, Rob Lee. They sit down and talk about Rob’s newest book, the Pulpit and the Paper: A Pastor’s Coming of Age in Newsprint. The book is an anthology of newspaper articles from Rob’s newspaper column in <em>The Statesville Record and Landmark </em>from 2011-2019.</p>

What matters most to us in times of consequence? Is it wealth? Is it prestige and power? Is it likes or favorites? To me, what I hope to center is that friendship, family, empathy, compassion, quirkiness, humor, and hope will win out even amidst the fray of this transient and turbulent life. My name is Rob Lee, I’m a pastor, public theologian, and author working at the intersection of faith and public life. I want this podcast to be a place where I interview those people who are exemplifying what it means to exist with complete abandon in this life.
