Last Wednesday night, I had the opportunity to gather with friends, family, and readers in the beautiful General Theological Seminary Chapel of the Good Shepherd, to talk about my new book, Blessed Are the Rest of Us. I was honored to have my friend, the beloved author Shauna Niequist, with me to chat about the process of writing the book, some of the books major themes, and even what I hope the youth group I help lead (who were also present in the room!) can take from this book. 

So excited to share with you: The Blessed Are The Rest of Us Book Launch conversation, with special guest, Shauna Niequist! 

Just a note, towards the end we took questions from the audience: You won't be able to  hear the Q+A questions from the audience. As best as I remember these are the questions that were asked:

1. Who are "the rest of us"?
2. How long did it take you to write this book?
3. What does it look like for a church to be fully inclusive? How can we love and welcome Ace and other people with disabilities into our congregation?
