Hey, friends, welcome back to another episode of Theology and Rha. My guest today is Levi Lesko,

who is the founder and Lee Pastor of Fresh Life Church located in Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Utah.

He is the best selling author of several books, including Through the Eyes of a Lion,

Swipe Right, I Declair War, The Last Supper on the Moon and Roar Like a Lion.

And his latest book is,

Blessed Are the Spirling, How the Chaotic Search for Significance and Lead to Joy

through Life's Shifting Seasons. I've known about Levi for a while from a distance,

especially as we talk about in this podcast, when his daughter, his five-year-old daughter, died while he was a pastor at his church

several years ago.

I remember hearing about that and just being devastated by it.

And I've been really just impressed with how he and his wife handled that devastating situation.

We talked about that at the beginning of this conversation.

And then we talk about just all things, all the way.

I mean, just we went all over the map from ministry to preaching to stand-up comedians,

to snowboarding, to ice baths and our mutual fear of snakes and many other things.

So really fun, free-flowing conversation.

Really excited for you to get to know Levi.

So please welcome to the show for the first time, the one or only, Levi Lesko.

All right, Levi Lesko, man.

This is, I can't believe this is happening. I mean, you've been a, I've been following your work for a while now. And I'm just really excited to have a conversation with you. Thanks for being a guest on Theology and Arras. Bro, for sure. I feel like, yeah, all roads were pointing this way. I was going to say all roads west or whatever. But yeah, I've tracked with you for so long, and it was about dang time we finally got to meet.

I actually was in your church.

You weren't there.
