In this episode, Jordan sits down with Ben to talk about the story behind the account, what he discovered about modern church culture, and what it was like being at the center of one of the internet’s most controversial faith conversations. They discuss: How “Preachers N Sneakers” started by accident The unexpected backlash from pastors and churches The viral growth that changed Ben’s life What he learned about influence, power, and church culture Why the conversation is still relevant today This one goes deeper than expected — and you might not see everything the same way after listening.
