Summary

This episode is part 2 of our mini-series we’re calling “The New Normal.”

We spoke in Part 1 with Ashley Mae Hoiland a few weeks back. For this episode, we spoke with Melissa Inouye.

Melissa’s been on our podcast before, and is one of our very favorite guests and people. After receiving her Ph.D. from Harvard in 2011, Melissa became a Senior Lecturer in Asian Studies at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. She’s now working for the Church History Department, and last year published a new book called “Crossings."

In this conversation, Melissa shared with us her reflections on the crazy year we’ve had so far. The discussion we had was wide-ranging, and includes reflections on lockdown, home church, parenting, and even how we can use a lack of stability as a transformative experience.

We’re really grateful Melissa came on the podcast and are excited to share her insights. 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.
