Throughout the weekend of the Cruciform Conference, I (Michael) enjoyed fresh cups of coffee from Better Life Coffee Co and mild chatting with Joe Heatwole, founder, and owner.

As the conference was finishing, Joe was given a chance to tell “his story” before the final sermon. What I heard was a story I want everyone to hear! This is really an amazing work of God.

I hope you will listen to the story and consider supporting this excellent, worthwhile ministry. And the coffee is SERIOUSLY GOOD, too. We will discuss how the company started, what they do now, and even get into some interesting details about coffee!
