Together LA Listening Tour

This week we talk with Pastor Robert Cruz from Antioch City Church, as he shares his unique and inspiring testimony. He discusses how he came to Christ, his calling as a pastor, and how God is working in his church community.

We talk with author Katie Schnack about her book The Gap Decade: When You're Technically an Adult but Really Don't Feel Like It Yet. She discusses how her gap decade transformed her through seasons of waiting, finding contentment, making peace with the past, and trusting God.

Join us as we hear from Chris Rattay, the lead pastor of both New Life Community Church in Lincoln Heights and Epicentre West LA. He speaks about pastoring in different cultures, finding unity regardless of racial and class differences, and how to find and develop Christ-centered leaders.

In this interview, Tommy interviews Dr. Felicia Song, a Professor of Sociology at Westmont College. They discuss the evolution of digital technology, its integration with all aspects of our lives, and how digital media can be used as a means for discipleship.

This week TogetherLA’s President and Chairman Brannin Pitre sits down with Bill Clark of A21 as he touches upon ways to help protect those who are most vulnerable and to identify signs of human trafficking and the programs available to assist victims in the midst of it.  In the second half of the interview, they talk specifically about the Super Bowl and the It’s A Penalty Campaign.

Join us as we listen to Drs. Scott and Melissa Symington talk about their relationship and the development of the app ActAgape, and how the app is used to help couples reignite positive energy to identify and remind their partner, of ways they can each feel loved, appreciated, and valued.

f you are a believer looking for a dose of wisdom in leadership, inspiration through self-doubt, or awe of how God is activating multi-ethnic, urban youth leaders, you are in for a treat. Our special guest this week is Tommy Nixon, CEO of non-profit Urban Youth Workers Institute, husband and father (to five kids, six chickens, two dogs and two ducks!). As he talked about his current mission  of "developing urban leaders who will shape the future of the Church" and its significance, Tommy offered nuggets of wisdom he had collected along the way. A few of them included: Ask the Holy Spirit specific questions, press into nuance while standing on the truth of Scripture, and know that attitude and perspective are things within our control. Tune in to hear the full conversation and his personal testimony. Do you also wok in the realm of urban space or want to stay connected with Tommy or his organization?

How can the Super Bowl and the gospel collide? This week, we talked about that seemingly impossible intersection with Terry Bortz, Athletes in Action’s Director of Special Projects. Within her many responsibilities, Terry oversees and plans the Superbowl Breakfast -the next one being in February 2022, a day before the game, in downtown Los Angeles. Tune in to her explaining the history of how the Superbowl Breakfast got started, the famous athletes who have attended and been awarded prizes for outstanding integrity, and most importantly: how this event has been a springboard for many to share their personal testimonies and even calls to faith to fellow athletes and individuals of influence in corporate America. She also describes how our Los Angeles listeners can be a part of making this event possible. For more information, check out their website, superbowlbreakfast.com.
