The Town Monkey I Heard It On The 806

    • Religion & Spirituality

Episode Summary



Oftentimes in our lives, especially when we are in ministry, it’s easy to start taking ourselves too seriously. We forget to laugh at our mistakes or at times when things just don’t go as planned. How often do we meticulously plan something like ministry time and then beat ourselves up when it doesn’t go exactly the way we had arranged for it to happen?



In this episode, Jon recalls a very funny story from the early days of Dr. Jay Swallow’s tent meeting ministry. During one of these meetings, he was unexpectedly interrupted by the most unlikely of guests and he wasn’t quite sure what to do about it.
