Summary

The global Covid-19 pandemic has caused a huge amount of suffering and death. It’s disproportionately afflicted vulnerable and minority populations, and its second-order effects have destroyed livelihoods and wreaked economic havoc on society.

All of that remains true, and truly awful. But there has been an unexpected silver lining for many of us in which we’ve discovered new things about ourselves and our lives that only surfaced due to such an intense disruption.

In this episode, and a short series of episodes, we’ll be discussing the New Normal — we’re hoping to to find ways to take what we’ve learned and, as society begins to reopen, make sure we’re living intentionally and incorporating the best of what this period of stillness has brought us.

This first conversation is with Ashley Mae Hoiland, author of “One Hundred Birds Taught Me to Fly” and several other books. We’re really grateful that Ashmae came on — she shared some fantastic insights, and we hope you enjoy the conversation.

0:00.0	Hey everybody. Before we get started I just wanted to tell you about a new book from
0:04.4	Faith Matters Publishing. It's called Restoration by Patrick Mason. When we started the
0:08.8	Faith Matters Publishing project one of our goals was to explore what
0:11.9	restoration really means as the church moves into its third century
0:15.2	and that's exactly what Patrick does. If you're like me and you've ever wondered how restoring Israel
0:19.9	can be relevant to you, you've got to read this book. Patrick shows how as members of the
0:24.4	church it's our mission to truly lead out in bringing wholeness and healing to the
0:28.2	marginalized and the vulnerable. This book absolutely lit a fire for me and it has
0:32.2	totally changed the way I view my own engagement with the church and with the world.
0:36.0	I really can't recommend this book strongly enough.
0:38.5	It's the kind of book you want everyone you know to be reading to so that you can talk about it. So you can pick up a copy for
0:43.9	yourself or for your friends and family at Desert Book, Amazon, Audible, and Apple
0:48.3	Books. Okay that's it on the book for now but we'll be sharing a lot more in the
0:51.5	near future. Thanks as always and here's the episode.
