"Preachers Get Sick (Part 2)" with Reverends Jason Micheli, Teer Hardy, and Taylor Mertins

Cancer is funny?  

That's the belief of Rev. Jason Micheli, pastor of Annandale United Methodist Church in Annandale, VA.  Jason was diagnosed a few years ago with a very rare, very serious form of bone cancer, and he's here to talk with me about how journeying through his sickness while pastoring forced him to be more vulnerable in front of his congregation.  Jason is also joined by his friends, fellow UMC pastors Teer Hardy and Taylor Mertins, who lend some outsider perspective on his experience.

Fun points in this episode include a conversation about how to grow a beard, a toilet-themed fundraiser, and the censorship of a few "adult" words provided by my little boys, Steven and Parrish.

Hear more from Jason, Teer, and Taylor on their podcast, "Crackers and Grape Juice", and be sure to check out Jason's book about his journey, Cancer Is Funny, available here.
