Today on the podcast, hosts Rachael Gallagher and Elizabeth Varaso talk with Philadelphia-area-based pastor and author, Matt Gorkos. Matt has built Storied Church Ministry Consulting , focused on cultivating connections through stories.

Matt mentions a children\\u2019s book series written by Kobi Yamada with beautiful illustrations by Mae Besom. The titles are \\u201cWhat Do You Do With a Problem?\\u201d \\u201cWhat Do You Do With An Idea?\\u201d And \\u201cWhat Do You Do With A Chance?\\u201d

Matt would love to point listeners to the Human Library Project.
