This week I interviewed SOLA editorial board member Daniel K. Eng. We discussed the motivation behind his articles and how they went from ideas to published works. We hope this conversation encourages you to tell your own stories.
Patreeya Thorn sent us an audio recording of her article, so you can now listen to her read A Letter to the Lonely. This week we also featured P. J. Tibayan’s article: Are You A Church Member Or A Church Mover?
