Bossypants and the Nerd Kevin and Mel Eccles
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Mel and Kevin chat about their passions, what they've learned, and what they love.
They've logged countless hours in meaningful (and frustrating) conversation over the past 16 years and have strong opinions about church and minimalism and gardening. They're both ordained clergy, and they're married. To each other. As they share books they're reading, theological debates, and stories of the mundane and momentous, may their banter enlighten and entertain.
