Summary

Ben Kirby, the man behind the viral Instagram account @preachersnsneakers, joins Blake to talk about the cultural phenomenon of mega church pastors and the lives they lead and the shoes they wear. Listen in as they discuss the often nuanced subject of how much money our pastors make and if we’re allowed to ask questions about how they use it.
