Heaven Bent is a strange short little podcast. Comprising of only a handful of episodes, our narrator, Tara Jean Stevens charts a course that touches on a strange evangelical revival that turned into a worldwide phenomenon while also bringing her personal story into play that details her involvement through her church. I would have preferred to hear more about how a church near an airport in Toronto was ground zero for this “blessing” but I can see how others may prefer her journey more.
Since L.A. doesn’t get a lot of Toronto beer (or Canadian Prime Ministers visiting) you can always go for the Belgian beers that they get from Unibroue that coincidentally have religious sounding names like Providential or Audaciter. You could also get a crowler or other to-go option from SoCal’s Congregation Ale House.
July is the summer month for me. A time to try to keep cool, have a staycation, visit the beach, use that accrued vacation time. Two out of four ain’t bad. But hopefully, I can brighten the world with news and fun about our favorite beverage.
