Episode 227: Nona Jones

It's been about a year since I met Nona Jones and I've loved getting to know her, learn from her, and laugh with her. We've been trying for months to get our calendars to sync for this conversation, ever since her incredible book Success from the Inside Out released in January, and everything aligned a few weeks ago. We talk about COVID19, her health journey, how her traveling schedule has changed and what she's learning about herself in that, and how Facebook is helping churches in these weeks ...

Episode 221: Eugene Cho

I greatly admire Pastor Eugene Cho - for his preaching, his leadership, his writing, his obedience, his advocacy. Every time I've been under his teaching I've left changed, including this conversation today. It's important.

Pastor Eugene's newest book, Thou Shall Not Be a Jerk , is available everywhere. We also hop ov...
