About this episode
Jordan Raynor sits down with Maxwell King, Author of The Good Neighbor (the first full-length biography of Fred Rogers) to talk about how Fred “rehearsed” each day through prayer, which books Fred was reading on his deathbed, and the transformative moment in which Fred realized his work was ministry.
