    Awesome Animal Advocates - Episode 65 Practicing What You Preach
    Apr 26 2015
    A few weeks ago while preaching his sermon Br’er Dan said, "Animal abusers bother me more as I grow older."

After 64 episodes I thought it was time to get a clergyman’s perspective on advocating for animals. Meet Br’er Dan and learn one preacher’s take on being kind to animals.
