For our final episode(s) of season one, we welcomed Pastor Julie and Craig Geddes down to the C3 garage to share their life stories, backgrounds, and some of the lessons they learned along the way. The two of them have been all over the globe, both separately and now together, and bring a great deal of insight and experience to the conversation. At the time of recording they were but newlyweds, and have since returned more than once to speak to our community of Young Adults. So there is certainly more to come!

For now enjoy this great chat from August of 2023, and get ready for a followup episode where they will be answering your questions.
