“I left God because I decided God wasn’t good. I don’t believe God anymore.” My heart sank and compassion flooded my chest as I sat on this man’s couch, listening to words like this.

When I caught up with my good friend Butch, he jumped on with his usual energy. “I really took a chance naming something The Greatest Thing Ever. In Hollywood, it’s like…
