John Chapter 4 is an all time great - so great we had to break it up into two episodes. The first starts with the reality that Jesus got tired too when He started on something unexpected. However, He did not let that stop Him from doing great things. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/townhall/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/townhall/support

Being a black kid from Hoover, Alabama, I know a thing or two about privilege... Just maybe not the way you expected. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/townhall/message

When it comes to finding a solution to our country's very real race problem, we will not be successful unless we can look each other in the eye and speak candidly about race. The excuse of not knowing how to say it or not knowing what to say is officially becoming extinct. Its time to sit down and have some tough conversations. I promise they will end in community and reconciliation if you come with the attitude of wanting to learn. In case you just don't know where to start, I've added a couple of links to some incredible conversations that can help you get up to speed quickly - not to mention they are incredibly powerful.

We dig into the elements of the Coronavirus shutdown. A college student and an (almost) college graduate analyze the effects of the virus and how we as people are responding to it. A cure for the virus is in the hands of the doctors, but a cure for the world is up to us. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/townhall/message

COVID-19 is one of the most serious and unusual events in this century. It is a situation that will change a lot about how we look at the world and interact with it. But it is important to demonstrate patience as well. We are so quick to offer up solutions when we have not yet fully understood the problem. Let us use this time of pause to reflect and research our lives and surroundings. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/townhall/message

Amazon has been praised and criticized for its dominance of the shopping market. However, we may not have considered what all that may mean for our downtown cities. Not to mention, it may be our fault (a little) that Amazon is the behemoth that it is now. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/townhall/message
