Hong Kong, George Floyd’s death, and a conversation with Lemanuel Williams

In this episode, Josh, Lindsay, and Brent recap the Memorial Day weekend, discuss coronavirus milestones, George Floyd’s death, rising home sales in America, CDC guidelines for churches, cicadas, and KFC testing a chicken sandwich. Lindsay also gives a rundown of this week’s ERLC content including a piece by Jessica Burke with "4 ways we try and help our children understand suffering," Grace Liu with "What Christians can do to address COVID-19 and the racial divide," and Catherine Boyle with "4 suggestions for shepherding pastors during the coronavirus." Also in this episode, the hosts are joined by Lemanuel Williams for a conversation about life and ministry.

Lemanuel “Manny” Williams serves as the Director of Discipleship for Redemption City Church in Franklin, Tennessee. Manny and his wife Sarah just celebrated one year of marriage. Currently, he is a Hunt Scholar at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and is finishing his M.Div. When he isn’t working, doing school work, or attending to the needs of the church, he spends his time reading, writing, attempting carpentry, being a music junkie, playing ball (football and basketball), watching the New England Patriots and the Boston Celtics, eating good food, and enjoying good company and conversation.
