This is the inaugural episode of Chats Over Chicken Soup. The podcast was named Earthen at this stage, but has since been updated. Jacob Ugljesa, local pastor and chaplain here in Toowoomba, is interviewed and gives a bit of his life story and discusses topics which include: his transition to working life, unexpected aspects of pastoral work, and the importance of family. We also touch on his own podcast, Beyond the Pew, and take a few interesting tangents such as Jacob's love for Lego. Hosted by David Sretenovic, and recorded 03/12/19 in Toowoomba, Australia.
