The Summer Series continues as Dr. Brent Simpson sits down with Pastor Jonny Turpin, Connections Pastor at ARISE Church, for a conversation filled with laughter, powerful testimony, and the faithfulness of God.

From spending his days outdoors to life in a pastor's home, he reflects on the values that shaped him, his love for the cowboy lifestyle, and why you'll probably find him watching The Office when he has some downtime.
