Speaking with a Pastor in Italy’s Coronavirus “Hot Zone”

Posted by | Mar 1, 2020 | |

Over the past few years I’ve had a number of opportunities to interact with Pastor Andrea Artioli who pastors Chiesa Sola Grazia in Mantua, Italy. His recent newsletter told that he lives in the “hot zone” of the coronavirus outbreak in Northern Italy.

As I Traveled the World, What Stood Out the Most?

As I tell people about the round-the-world journey that led to the forthcoming book and DVD Epic: An Around-the-World Journey through Christian History (please pre-order it now!), the most common question I get is this: What was your favorite place? Obviously I got to see and experience a lot as I traveled 24 countries across 6 continents. I saw so much of the world, so many of its beauties, and so many of its treasures. In all that I saw, …
