In this interview, Josh interviews Kyle T. Kramer, author of A Time to Plant: Life Lessons in Work, Prayer and Dirt. Just in time for Good Friday and Earth Day, this podcast comes in a long line of other environmentally concerned podcasts by the Nick and Josh crew. Remember: An Oil Spill Round Table Discussion with Ben Lowe, Tom Sine and Julie Clawson, Matthew Sleeth, and Tom Sine of the Mustard Seed Associates? Kyle is not only a farmer, academic, father and eco-ascetic, but also a alumni of Emory’s Youth Theological Initiative and the Candler School of Theology. For more information on this subject, listen to the first few minutes of the interview.

This week we have Cliff Shiepe talking about self publishing his new novel Cliff Falls.
Cliff has an interesting life that mixes ministry with the entertainment industry and his first novel puts one foot in each of those spheres. What I found most interesting about Cliff’s story is that he did not intend to write a novel and when it was all said and done, he did all the work and it took him ten years. I thought that was a powerful story for those of us anxious to get some thoughts on paper and get them out there.
Cliff gives some good advise for artists/writers and he talks about his novel.
