#86 Skipping Retirement. Living on Mission. - Brian Lynn

Brian Lynn grew up inspired by missionaries like George Mueller. But, as an adult, he was blindsided by a painful divorce and became a single dad. After struggling with self-pity and anger, Brian realized that God had called him to live out a counter-cultural lifestyle that he never thought possible.
