Episode 5: Root Beer, 120 Pounds of Sugar and G-d

Episode 5 features an intense discussion with Wade Vitalis - longtime owner of the Drive-In Restaurant in Taylors Falls MN - about root beer, and about life after losing a child. Wade shares the full experience of deep pain, of a marriage strengthened by loss rather than torn about by it, and about running a seasonal restaurant whose employees are nearly all teenagers. Wade also talks about his need to redefine Christianity, including the wilderness church he has started hosting, on his family land along the St. Croix River.
