TRailer - Introduction to Season 3
On The Embedded Church podcast, we often make references to terms, books, and urban thinkers that might be unfamiliar to our audience. We decided to address that concern in Season 3, by introducing our listeners to the books and authors who have had a major impact on our understanding of neighborhood design.
Welcome to an entire season dedicated to Eric and Sara Joy talking about books. The episodes will be spaced two weeks apart to allow listeners a chance to read each featured book before we talk about it. But also, be assured, listeners will learn a lot about these books and some of their key ideas just by listening. We’re kind of hoping that a few of our listeners will order these books and give them to their pastor for Christmas. Nothing says, “I love you, pastor” more than a gift-wrapped copy of Happy City waiting under the tree after the Christmas Eve service.
