A couple of weekends ago, I was up in NorCal for a wedding, so I went to see my law school roommate, Ryan, who got his P.h.D. and is now a pastor and theologian at the Bay Church in Concord, CA. He invited me on his podcast, The Deeper Bible Podcast.
It was my first time publicly reflecting on the campaign and what I learned. I really enjoyed it.
You can watch the full episode here.
If you’d rather listen to it, it’s here.
And if you’re inclined to support the mission of the Bay Church, you can do so here.
The next few weeks in the United States are likely to be chaotic, and we all have to take care of ourselves, even as we stay engaged.
Hope this helps.
