This week on Advancing the Mission, I am replaying my Father's Day episode from last year when we interviewed Jon Fogel, Senior Pastor at Hope Covenant Church in Orland Park, IL. For our conversation today, though we will be talking about a viral parenting account he created a few years back with over 750,000 followers.
