Things I Learned Behind the Red Doors

from 7 Minute Stories w/ Aaron Calafato Hosted by Aaron Calafato

Aaron looks back on the Episcopal church of his childhood, an unforgettable pastor named Jess, and the day he was told he might grow up to become a minister. Years later, he realizes the prediction may not have been entirely wrong. A story about faith, kindness, calling, and discovering that sometimes the thing that stays with us isn’t the sermon. It’s the story. 👇 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📬⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Be a part of the 7 Minute Stories Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get access to Aaron's Stories in a Snap series.
