Show notes

Hey friends, thanks for joining us on Wear We Are this week! We have two special guests this week on the pod - Michael and Lauren McAfee! Their new book, "Beyond Our Control: Let Go of Unmet Expectations, Overcome Anxiety, and Discover Intimacy with God" releases this Tuesday and we talk about their experiences. They've been through loss and heartache that perhaps our listeners will resonate with, but as they've worked in public life, they also see lessons from their book for all of us as we consume news and politics.
