Sarah Condon
Co-Host of The Mockingcast
Sarah Condon is an assistant editor of the Mockingbird website, author of Churchy, and co-host of The Mockingcast. She also serves on the staff of St George's Episcopal Church in Nashville, TN. She went to Yale for Divinity School. And she only drinks organic milk. If you’re starting to feel crappy about your life reading this, please keep in mind that Sarah is deeply neurotic, originally from a state with the highest teen pregnancy rate (I see you, Mississippi), and is Mockingbird’s in-house expert for the Housewives Franchise. She is astonished that God loves and forgives even her. And she can’t stop writing about it.
Sarah Condon has hosted 252 Episodes.
