Salt&Light – Black Lives Matter and More. - a podcast by Evangelism In Australia

Tina Waldrom speaks with Doug Clark in the United States regards the challenges the church faces to be salt and light right now.  This offshore interview gives unique insight into the challenges of Black Lives Matter, Coronavirus and the unique place that young people have to play.

 

Doug Clark has more than 40 years of ministry experience working with leaders across America. He is the National Field Director for  NNYM (National Network of Youth Ministries) and has a wealth of experience facilitating unity and championing collaboration among leaders.

 

Being on the ground in California affords Doug a perspective on some current cultural issues that add to what is heard and seen on Australian shores. Hearing about the tragic death of George Floyd from a white American perspective is challenging and thought provoking. The need for the church to be salt and light in this hour is crucial.
