Mike Yaconelli: “Messy Spirituality.” Podcast: Journeys Interview Segment 1 of 4

Mike Yaconelli “colored outside the lines his whole life. He was one of the founders of The Wittenburg Door. He was also co-founder of Youth Specialties, which has had a tremendous impact on how we understand and help teens in this culture. By his own confession he was the pastor of “the slowest growing church in America. He was also an advocate of what he calls “messy spirituality” and wrote a book by the same title: Messy Spirituality: God’s Annoying Love for Imperfect People. I talked with Mike about this book in 2002 and he was tragically killed in an accident in his truck in 2003.
