Live Interview w/ Mark DeYmaz & Efrem Smith

Recently, I received a request to post this link to a live interview Efrem Smith and I gave as part of the festivities as the Exponential Conference in Orlando, FL (April 2009). Efrem is a good friend of mine, the pastor at Sanctuary Covenant Church in Minneapolis, MN and co-author of the book, Hip Hop Church. Together, we are part of a growing leadership seeking to catalyze the movement toward multi-ethnic churches throughout America and beyond. For those interested, I believe you will find this helpful.
