Disrupting Business as Usual with Guest Patty Krawec

Recorded on March 20th at Westview. A few months back Patty Krawec tweeted a challenge to churches to have her speak on the table-flipping scene in the gospels. Westview and Silver Spire United took her up on the challenge. We were very grateful for the opportunity to hear and dialogue with Patty on Sunday.

You can find a video of her sharing on Silver Spire here and a transcript of her talk on her website.
