I heard Dr. Joan Prince speak at a leadership conference and couldn't wait for the opportunity to talk to her again. She's a woman who has overcome adversity and opposition. To this day, she's hard at work to bring about gospel-centered change. A little more about Dr. Joan Prince: She has served her community in many ways. She is a former university vice chancellor, former ambassador to the General Assembly of the United Nations, and has served on the board for a number of community organizations, including currently as chair of the board of directors for the Siebert Foundation. She grew up during the Civil Rights era in Milwaukee, often called one of the most segregated cities in America. Dr. Prince, a lifelong woman of faith, takes her experiences and continually works to bring unity by doing what she calls "gospel-centered change."Hey, Little Things listeners!

Enjoy!As much as the world has judged churches, spoiler alert: Jesus also judges churches. How?Pastor Mike and Amber dive into the next TV message series that takes a look at Jesus' letters to the first-century churches in the book of Revelation.

Pastor Mike is joined by Amber Albee Swenson this month to give us a sneak peek at October's TV message series that takes a look at Moses' life and ours, "Am I Strong Enough?" Pastor Mike and Amber touch upon burning bush moments (or lack thereof in our lives), worry, idolatry, how God uses us, and many more topics! They also talk about October's resources.
