First Rabbi Mark is joined
by fellow Listen Frederick host Brian Donahue.
Brian hosts The Big Sci-Fi Podcast, the Brian Donahue Show
Podcast, as well as faith based podcasts. Brian also is a Minister
at the Pursuit Friends Church in Northeast Ohio. Rabbi Mark and
Brian talk about the intersection of his passions and podcasts. He
unpacks his church motto Pray, Love, Live on Mission. The phrase
was derived from the great commission where Jesus called his
followers to reach out to others that need God. Finally they
discuss the importance of faith when it comes to believing in the
accuracy and infallibility of Scriptures.
Jane Powell works with the Literacy Council of Washington County. The council
offers language classes to a large range of adults who need help
with their literacy. She works with adults helping them in reading,
writing and math with both native English speakers and with
non-native speakers. Jane discusses what lead up to joining the
Literary Council. What seemed to be her under qualified, second
choice in the Literary Council quickly became her life.
Many students found the Literacy Center through the local
community college who recommends their services to students who
fail to meet the literacy requirements to under college. Jane
covers the possibility of a stigma around illiteracy and why/how
these notions should be dispelled. Jane shares that the
literacy program doesn't just stop within the building but
Powell reaches out to schools as well as prisons.
