What We’re Reading 07/01/16

Read something great this week? So have we! Take a look.

Welcome to What We’re Reading. This is where we share articles and other media that have impacted our contributors in one way or another.  If you’ve read a great article that is worth sharing, send it over to Aaron.

Tulsa

No matter who you voted for in the Tulsa mayoral election, this behind-the-scenes look by The Frontier at GT Bynum’s election day is well done, and gives you a good glimpse into the life of our next mayor.

We love a good Tulsa World Slideshow, and this one, Eat Your Way Through Tulsa from A to Z, is excellent.

This Tulsa People article chronicling the renovation of the Outsiders house is great. Make sure you watch the video at the bottom of the article as they tour the house.

Life

“Building Home Kids Want to Come To” is a tremendous article that parents need to read. We especially love #5.

The seven strategies that this social worker shares on parenting your children are great; especially this one “Count the number of times you have a meal with your child. Going back some 50 years, and out of 21 opportunities a week, the number back then would have been near 21. Whatever your count, consider how you can increase it.”

Looking for some new podcasts to listen to? Each week, a Pastor in Louisiana assembles a list of 5 covering various topics that are worth checking out.

Faith

Christianity Today has their most recent issue on creativity and the church. We love this Q & A with Adam Grant.

This life-transformation story of James Corden (The Carpool Karaoke Guy) is beautiful, and it shows the beauty of praying parents.
