Episode 47: Anton Adkins

On our 47th episode we have guest Anton Adkins.  I met Anton years ago through my college friend Liset.  Anton is a proud Chicagoan from the west side.  I loved this conversation with Anton as he walks us through his story all the twists and all the turns as hones in on what exactly his passions and the different ways he is living them out.  You are for sure going to want to hear Anton’s story as he highlights his passions of community development and Christian development.
