A Supernatural Encounter, Battling Chick-Fil-A, and Obsessive Complements to People of Color

1. Praying for a Homeless Man (and Something More)
Joey shares an encounter that felt supernatural. While praying for a homeless man, it seemed like the Spirit was praying through him. That story leads into a bigger conversation about how much experience matters to faith.

2. Chick-fil-A, Confrontation, and Growing a New Muscle
Chick-fil-A got Joey's order wrong, so he battled Charleston traffic to drive back. They fixed the order but didn't do anything extra, and Joey, smiling the whole time, asked them to do a little better. From there the conversation turns to the Enneagram: what it looks like for a Nine (the Peacemaker) to start working his Eight muscle.

3. “Nice Lady, By the Way”: The Unprompted Compliment
Joey has noticed that many white people, often older white people, add a compliment whenever they mention someone of a different race: “I was talking to this Hispanic woman — very nice, by the way.” He asks two of his African American friends whether they've noticed it too. They have, and the conversation that follows is honest and eye-opening.
