Let's Hear It for the Sponsors!
There are some folks without whom the Church Basement Roadshow would not have been possible. The first is the inimitable Michael Toy, owner of the RV that carried us over 15,000 miles this summer.
The other is the group of sponsors who underwrote the tour in one way or another. I encourage you to

Hottest Shows
Some of the Roadshows were HOT, and by that I don't mean "cool." I mean they were hot, like sweaty, humid, disgustingly hot. Of course, there were lots of comments about how the heat made it feel like a real, old-timey revival, and lots of jokes about us wearing three-piece wool frock suits. The

I’m so excited for what you are doing all over the country!

Yes it is difficult. We have many different views and many differing opinions. How do we all get together?
