Podcast Interview with “Lansing’s Happiest Homeless Person” Chris Pruett

Episode #8 of “Behind the Curtain” Ministry Podcast is here!

I interviewed Chris Pruett, the self-titled “Happiest Homeless Person in Lansing.”  Chris attends my church and does a great job of shedding the light of love and humanity onto homelessness.  Learn about homelessness from the eyes of a homeless person.  Chris is intelligent, creative and funny.  See below for a small sampling of the various signs (and boxes for his head) that Chris wears around Lansing.

Chris ships his signs to Professor Willie Baronet of Southern Methodist University, who is working on a documentary called “We Are All Homeless.”  This is Professor Baronet speaking about homelessness at a TED Conference:
