Maggie and Lucy Tryggestad show off the Christian Chronicle table at the North Texas Leadership Training for Christ 2023 convention in Dallas.

We’re live at L2L, LTC

The Christian Chronicle has reporters on the ground — among a sea of young song leaders, Bible bowlers, artists, signers and puppeteers — at this weekend’s Lads to Leaders conventions in Nashville, Tenn., and Little Rock, Ark., and at the North Texas Leadership Training for Christ convention in Dallas.

Tune in to our social media channels — Facebook, Instagram and TikTok — for live updates from the convention sites.

If you’re attending one of these events, come find us and say hello! Look for the Chronicle’s table in the lobby of the Hilton Anatole in Dallas.

 

It’s a Good Friday for a podcast!

Today’s special episode features the preaching of Orpheus Heyward, the poetry of Paulette Guerin and the congregational singing of the Memorial Drive Church of Christ in Tulsa, Okla., led by Shane Coffman. These three artists share some of their work and talk about how it helps them and others ponder the death of Jesus.

Listen to Episode 13 and explore our previous episodes.
