Crystal produces a special edition of "Life Inspired" along with special guests Chris Kelly and our relationship expert Dr. Terry Johnson Vice President of spiritual care at Adventist Health. We focus on the state of our country in the wake of the senseless death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police Officers, and offer ways to help you take care of your emotional health, how to talk to your kids about racism and ways you can get involved if you are trying to find a way to make a difference. Below are the sites I’d like to post to give to our listeners some helpful information they can use right now to benefit them.
Also, If you’d like to ask Dr. Terry a question… It’s simple… Go to thefishportland.com and look for the Ask Dr. Terry Link.
If you are trying to find a way to make a difference, you can Text Floyd to 55156… where you can make a difference rather than make a noise. It will give you some direction for some solutions
