Doug and J.R. begin this episode with an honest conversation about our first parish, the home. Specifically, we talk about being parents, some of our practices, and thoughts. We are not perfect parents, so we don't have all the answers. We are trying to write a different story about pastors kids. Also, if you are interested in reading the bible with your kid plan, send J.R. an email. Our interview this week is with Keisha Polonio. She gives the MMP community a ton to think about in this episode. To name a few…. Being a healthy leader; Racial reconciliation; Seeing the scripture outside your ethnic context; Making room at your table; House Church; Kidney cancer; Transitions, and Fighting for stillness….
We are so glad to be with Keisha, and we are confident the Lord has encouragement for you too.
