Summary
In this special re-release, we at the Good Faith podcast want to honor the life of Jonathan Tjarks, who passed away last week. Jonathan was an NBA beat writer and podcaster for The Ringer, but he was so much more! Just 6 months ago we had the pleasure of having Jonathan join us to talk about his cancer diagnosis, the role of his faith community in caring for his family, and even a little NBA talk. Whether you caught this episode or not, we believe his hard-earned wisdom is worth hearing over and over again. Rest in the peace of God Jonathan.
Show Notes:
- Jonathan Tjarks: "Does My Son Know You?"
- Jonathan Tjarks "Blogs About Books (Of The Bible)"
- Melissa Tjarks announcement of Jonathan's passing
