The Way Home: Philip Yancey on writing, life, and discipleship

Author Philip Yancey joins me on this episode of The Way Home podcast. I have long admired Yancey’s writing, and it’s really shaped me in many ways, particularly at key moments in my life. Yancey writes with such clarity on important topics of life and discipleship. He’s one of the best wordsmiths in the Christian writing world—able to turn a phrase or craft a sentence better than almost anybody.
