Between Pickups
A podcast for busy people and parents who want to follow Jesus but have no time except maybe, between pickups. John Montgomery hosts this podcast series sharing lessons of faith to hopefully encourage busy people and parents on their faith journey. It is not a parenting podcast but rather a podcast for parents and other generally busy people who want their faith to grow during one of the busiest times of their lives.

On this episode, John is joined by Dr. Daniel Bowman Jr. who is an author and professor in the American midwest. Daniel is also autistic and has written about how faith and autism intersect. His memoir, 'On the Spectrum' was significant in helping me appreciate more how an autistic mind tries to navigate the world and the church.
