What does it mean to find your person among the most unlikely of people? Also, how do you make hot cocoa? Join Bri and Alexa as they close out Season 1 discussing love and connection as the core of friendship with Rebecca Anderson of Gilead Chicago and Bethany Chicago. This is IRL AF, a podcast about real life adult friendships.

Rebecca Anderson is a pastor at two churches in Chicago, one of which she started from scratch. Her biscuits are unparalleled, and she knows the best places to pick juneberries. Outside of her work at Bethany UCC and Gilead Chicago, she is the head honcho of Earshot (EarshotStories.com), running storytelling workshops across the country. If you want to get to know Rebecca, you can find her on Sunday mornings at Bethany, a progressive-traditional church in Ravenswood (BethanyChicago.com), and Sunday evenings at Gilead, a queer storytelling bar church in a Rogers Park bar (GileadChicago.org). She hosts potlucks, plants gardens, and almost certainly wants to have coffee with you.
