I recently read (and then re-read) a fascinating book called Taste and See, which explores the deep connection between our physical hunger and our spiritual hunger.

Today’s guest is the fun-loving and insightful author of that book, Margaret Fei...

On a hill high above Kerrville,TX sits a beautiful, controversial, giant cross. The idea for the cross was born more than 20 years ago when a gifted wildlife artist named Max Greiner listened to a still, small voice. His journey since then is anything but small, and it’s a far cry from still. The prayer gardens where the massive cross sits are visited by hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world. Curiosity seekers, truth seekers even skeptics come to see and fe...
