Hello Blue! It has been so great to be with everyone today at Blue. What amazing speakers and ideas! Since I know your first question is: “How do I process this and keep learning?” I want to share a few resources that you can pick up before you leave the building. Byron from Hearts and Minds has suggested these three as the top books for our conference:
1. Visions of Vocation by Steve Garber
2. Work Matters by Tom Nelson
3. Every Good Endeavor by Timothy Keller
If you want to explore some specific channel-related materials, check out these options or ask Beth and Byron to make a suggestion that is tailored to you!
