Amen!

This episode is from my last podcast: "Let Them Eat Grass". With the craziness of the election still likely in full swing, I thought it would be nice to release something entirely apolitical and interesting. I hope you are encouraged.

How do we prevent anxiety from information overload? Why do today's kids have more knowledge than ever before at their fingertips, but are more scared than ever, too?

But to gain wisdom, our kids are missing intergenerational relationships within the church. Listen more for how to find those.

This is just a quick intro episode giving you a preview of what News Mondays to come will look like on this podcast.

The official launch of "Amen!" is here! Listen as Kelli and I discuss our backgrounds and goals for the podcast.
