If you haven’t already noticed, we are in an election year. This is, without a doubt, the most highly charged election season that I can remember. If it were up to me, I’d say that coronavirus is plenty for us to handle. However, on top of the virus (and all of the effects of it—job loss, quarantines, and loss of lives), we have added racial tensions, rioting in our cities, an exceptionally tense political race, hurricanes, derechos, wildfires, and we still have 4 months left in 2020!

Leaders across our country are making decisions no one ever thought we would have to consider. From city councils, mayors, and governors, to Congress and the White House. There is probably no better word to use for this time in our history than “unprecedented”.

It can be easy for us to have the ‘correct’ responses and answers to the problems we face, so I asked Christina Muryn, Mayor of my city, the City of Findlay, Ohio, to join me on this episode to give some perspective.  The majority of you listening probably don’t know anything about Findlay, Ohio. We are a city of approximately 42,000 people in northwestern Ohio.  We are the headquarters to corporations such as Marathon Petroleum, and Cooper Tire, we have major distribution centers such as Kohl’s and Best Buy, and we are proud of our Findlay City Schools and Trojan High School athletics.

Mayor Muryn shares some insight into her decision-making, whether it is everyday city operations issues or now, the challenges from COVID-19, protests and riots, and economic threats that face our cities. Mayor Muryn is wise beyond her years and offers hope, regardless of what city you call home.

Our conversation is centered around our faith.  Mayor Muryn is a Christ-follower and talks about how whether her faith plays any part in her decisions as mayor of a growing Ohio city.

Our conversation of hope is for everyone, everywhere—not just for Findlay, Ohio.  I know you will be encouraged and inspired as we hear from Mayor Christina Muryn, from Behind the Mike.
