Faith in an Airstream: Finding God Along the Way

About this Video

Friends of Pastor Keith, Rev. Jim Keat and his wife Chelsea left Manhattan in July 2019 and moved into a 27’ Airstream to live, work, and travel full time. Along the way they learned the courage it takes to try something new, the community you find along the way, a theology of stuff and simplicity, and the spirituality of walking along the beach and emptying your black tank, and so much more.
