### The discussion

To kick off the new year of podcasting, Martin and Sallie start a new book discussion of *The Post-Quarantine Church* by Thom Rainer.  Today’s show covers the introduction and chapters 1 & 2. We know the pandemic will end at some point and we want the church to be ready to operate in the new normal which emerges. Read along and perhaps share and discuss in your congregations.
