In this episode, Matt sits down with Adrian Lawson (@sipswithserra on YouTube) to talk about his wild childhood, what it was like growing up in a broken home, living in the foster care system, dealing with parents who were drug addicts, to becoming Catholic and defending that decision against his Protestant family.
