Episode 024 – Jonathan Camey
In Episode 024 we chat with Jonathan Camey, who currently is on staff at Lakewood Church as their main drummer. He’s also got a twin brother in the band, Joel, and things get serious in this episode as we explore themes of tragedy and triumph. It’s a good one, so grab a cup of coffee or put on your seatbelt (if you’re commuting) and get ready for a good one!
