At the end of each month, the SOLA Editorial team will be sharing “At Month’s End” — a brief greeting to you with musings and highlights from the month. Our April edition is below. If you’d like to sign up to receive this monthly, you can subscribe here.
Spring is a season of new beginnings, and the Editorial team is happy to bring this new(s)letter to you!
April showers…bring May flowers? Or so we hope, as we head out of a short yet long month on the other side of tax season and, of course, Easter! The slide of the stock market, the tension of the world’s affairs—this and so much more weighs heavy on the mind. But in the midst of it all, we hope that celebrating the risen King brought joy and peace to your hearts and minds.

Publishing with SOLA for the first time, Joel To shared his perspective on why soul care is so important for Asian American ministry leaders. The combination of Confucian values and the Protestant Work Ethic can lead one down an unhealthy path of self-sacrifice, if soul care is not prioritized.
The deadline to apply for the Young Writers Cohort is one month away! You can find more details about the program here.
