The Author Roundup: Ed Wacaster’s Story of Faith, Renewal, and Small Town Redemption

June 23, 2025 • The Book Connection • Season 9 • Episode 4

From military policeman and drill sergeant to youth pastor and crisis counselor, Ed Wacaster’s life has been a testament to service and faith. Now he channels that experience into his powerful debut novel, Road Trip Evangelists: Southwind.

We sit down with Ed and talk about what compelled him to write this story of two evangelists navigating a church through profound challenges after a local tragedy and how his own spiritual journey shaped this compelling narrative.

Find out the inspiration behind this impactful story in today's interview.
