It's been about a year since I met Nona Jones and I've loved getting to know her, learn from her, and laugh with her. We've been trying for months to get our calendars to sync for this conversation, ever since her incredible book Success from the Inside Out released in January, and everything aligned a few weeks ago. We talk about COVID19, her health journey, how her traveling schedule has changed and what she's learning about herself in that, and how Facebook is helping churches in these weeks where church isn't in a building.While we recorded the original conversation in early May, we both thought it would be important to check in again yesterday and I wanted to hear her thoughts on what is happening in our world today. I'm grateful for her honesty and thoughts.---#thatsoundsfunpodcastThank you to our partners of the show!

Y'all have heard Knox McCoy on the show, back in February 2018 when we had him and Jamie Golden on together (they are The Popcast, but you probably know that), but today the KNOX STANDS ALONE and we chat down a million rabbit trails. He's an incredibly gifted writer (humor that leads to deep thinking is my favorite and his specialty) and his new book All Things Reconsidered is out now.
