Looking to focus your heart and mind on things more true, positive, and encouraging? Alongside your daily time talking and listening to God,  Kenny Embry's podcasts may be just what you are looking for! I'm learning a lot myself. Kenny is a professor of communication, father of four, and husband. He lives in the Tampa area with his wife and four children and has a fabulous podcast called Balancing the Christian Life that helps Christians be better Christians. It focuses on practical ways to improve relationships with each other and God, and what it means to be a digital disciple. Visit Kenny's website at https://www.balancingthechristianlife.com

Recently we had a conversation with Kenny about what it's like to love and serve God and His family nomadically. Below is how he described our conversation.  Enjoy!

So how well do you think the church is doing across the country? It's easy to assume it's either going well or going poorly based on what you see where you are. But Mark and Cindy Dunagan have a pretty clear answer after visiting over 50 congregations in the last year. They are also podcasters and bloggers who are on a mission to visit 100 churches to see what works and what doesn't. I think you'll be interested to hear what they've learned from Christians who live their faith at the local congregation.

Here's their bio:

Mark and Cindy Dunagan live nomadically in a van and are on a quest to visit and encourage 100 conservative churches of Christ around the country to gather Biblically sound, inspiring ideas for growing the Kingdom of Heaven. They share those ideas on their blog NomadsYouAndi.com --- ideas that are on track to be published in a book called 100 Churches.

Mark has been preaching since his conversion in 1979 and continues to do so as they travel. He currently participates bi-weekly in the live online program Answering Religious Error.

His audio sermons are available at BeavertonChurchofChrist.net and his commentaries at MarkDunagan.com.  Cindy is the author of Your Fresh Start (available at OneStone.com), is the host of the podcast Nomads You And I, and co-host of the live online program Older Women Likewise.
