Welcome back to another episode of Confessions of a Crappy Christian.

I am your host and resident Crappy Christian Blake, and every week I get to have the coolest

conversations with incredible people about all the things most Christians are still not

sure we're allowed to talk about.

So if you've been looking for a place to land with all your crap, and for someone to just

be honest about what it looks like to walk through this Christian life, or you've come to

the right place, pull up a seat, pop in your headphones, and tune out your kids, and come

hang out with me and a guest for the authentic conversations that you have been looking for.

Patrick, hey, welcome to Confessions of a Crappy Christian.

Blake, it's great to meet you.

So we are talking about your book, which by the time this comes out, your book is out,

but we're really going beyond just your book. We want to talk about this movement of grace bomb,

what that looks like, and then the impact that you've gotten to see that have.

So to start us out, tell us a little bit about yourself, and then I want to hear about

what is a grace bomb.

Okay, so a little bit about me. I am a father of four, so we have two boys and two girls.

My oldest is 13, and she's awesome, leader, hardcore, strong, and then a couple of kids in the

middle there. And then my youngest is a first grader, Max, he's seven. So we kind of, you know,

are living that multi-kid, multi-sport life when it kind of gets crazy. And I married my high

school sweetheart. We're coming up on 18 years of this November, I think I think that's where we're at.

So yeah, that's a little bit about the family. I've worked at a church for a really long time,

up until about two years ago, when I started working for grace bomb full time.
