Rik and I got to hang out a bit at the National Religious Broadcasters Convenvention in Nashville, ate some yogurt and recorded this conversation.

We talk about:

• • HIs latest project THINKING REAL LOUD
  • What it takes to be a comedian.  Here’s a hint, it’s more than thinking you’re funny

  • His path away from God and how he reconnects with God now.
  • The moment when he prayed for direction and the incredible answer he received
  • and did Comedian Daren Streblow steal from Rik to buy Herbal Life?
