Each Saturday, I want to provide you a list of resources for you to engage yourself that influenced me. You can access the articles, podcasts, and other links in the list below.

• Why should I listen to voices beyond my newsfeed? / An Interview with Chief La’Ron Singletary — On the Why God Why Podcast, we had the opportunity to interview Chief La’Ron Singletary from the Rochester Police Department. He provided wisdom and insight into the current events we have encountered as a society today.
• Nona Jones on the Carey Nieuwhof Podcast — Nona Jones from Facebook provides critical input to online ministry. This interview looks at the present reality of church ministry during the shutdown and the future of discipleship. I pre-ordered her book From Social Media to Social Ministry.
• Bishop Claude Alexander interviewed by Gerald Hector- I just started reading the book by Gerald Hector, It’s Easy Son — Quit Making Things Difficult. The book inspired a podcast. He interviews Bishop Claude Alexander. Bishop Alexander has led the Park Church in Charlotte. He pioneered multisite campuses, livestreaming, and other endeavors before they entered the church conversation. I loved his heart and wisdom in this interview.

• Don’t Let Microstress Burn You Out by Rob Cross, Jean Singer, and Karen Dillon — I think we sometimes talk ourselves out of stress because we don’t see it as a crisis.
