On today's episode, Alan sits down with Myron Pierce for a crucial conversation in part 4 of our Dear White Leader's series. Myron is our first three-timer on the Right-Side Up Leadership Podcast so if you want to know more about Myron and his story be sure to check out episodes 13 and 18.
About Myron
Hey there! I’m Myron Pierce, a follower of Jesus, husband, father, pastor, church planter, author, and entrepreneur. At the age of 18, I was facing a life sentence in prison for my life of gang banging, drugs, and crime. I surrendered my life to the Lord Jesus and while leaving the courtroom I heard God whisper, “I’m going to get you out of prison to plant churches.” Through a series of miracles, the prison doors opened for me after eight years. The call of Mission Church (where I pastor) is to unleash unprecedented hope in every inner city around the world. I’m currently attending Crown College to obtain my Master’s of Arts in Global Leadership. My wife (Kristin) and I live in the heart of North Omaha with our three sons and daughter.

How are you (really) doing right now? That's probably the most meaningful yet seemingly hard to answer question we could ask, or be asked right now. Many of us are dealing with fatigue from increased screen time as a result of using so much technology.
As good as technology is, it can be very draining and fall short of filling the relational component we all need.
On today's episode, Alan sits down with pastor and author Jay Kim for a phenomenal conversation about his book Analog Church. They crack open what's happening right now, what's been good, and what we're losing with technology from over-relying on tech.
