Staying In the Racial Justice Conversation with Chuck Mingo & Troy Jackson - Episode 895

Today I get to talk to my new friend, Emily Morrow about all things clean eating and toxins and, well…all things crunchy. I’m SO fascinated by all we can learn about the food we eat, the products we use, and why talking about our physical health matters. Y’all know I want to live to be a 100 AND I want to keep learning forever, so I’m fascinated by people like Emily who can teach us things we might not know. Her new book, Really Very Crunchy is a GREAT resource, and I just loved getting to meet Emily. Isn’t this such a fun summer conversation?!

Over the years, there have been been so many friends of the show that have graciously helped us navigate real issues in our culture, especially, in our churches. We know racial division is a prevalent issue in the Church and the world today, yet God has promised us a unified future. Chuck Mingo and Troy Jackson are the founders of UNDIVIDED, an organization built to unite and ignite people for racial healing. And today we get to talk about it. In their new book, Living Undivided, Chuck and Troy invite readers to take action in the story of reconciliation that God is writing. Y’all, this book is a really helpful roadmap for reconciliation and healing and I think you're going to find this conversation thought-provoking and beneficial as we celebrate Juneteenth this week. . . . .

Y’all, I’m so excited for you to hear this one…especially as we head into Father’s Day weekend! One of our favorite friends (and Dads!), Willie Robertson is in the studio talking all about sharing your faith, connecting people to the Bible, and why we love Nashville. Although Willie might be best known as a member of the Duck Dynasty, he is most passionate about his role as a Gospeler. Over the years, he has shared the Good News of Jesus with others and he encourages us to do the same in this brand new book, Gospeler. It’s such a helpful resource as we keep stretching and growing in how we share the gospel and talk about our faith. I loved how the book of Acts weaved through this entire conversation!
