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.
