We're back with Episode 15 of "Faith All Over the Place!" That's right; that number keeps getting bigger.

Today's episode was an extra special one for me because Kruiser and I featured one of my longest-running friends (I hate to say "oldest friend" because it sounds like we're talking about age), Trey Bailey. Trey is on staff at my home church, Eastridge Church, and he has served on our local school board for nearly a decade.

Trey's public service is why we had him on. Kruiser had a slew of questions about public education, and Trey was game to answer them all. We talked about the importance of local control of schools, working with politicians on both sides of the aisle, and what it means to serve the community from a place of humility.

Trey also talked about how his perspective on education is changing as his daughters get older, and we discussed what it's like to be a Christian with a public-facing ministry or community service. Does it make you legalistic? Does it feel performative at times? We shared our thoughts on all of that.

Most of all, I appreciate Trey's heart for the community that led him to co-host a local podcast where people from all sides of the issues get together to talk about common ground and making the community better for everybody.

For those of you keeping score at home, we didn't talk about baseball or "The Chosen." We'll try to do better. (Although I think we hit on exercise briefly.)
