Season 2 of The Drawing Room launched on April 11, 2019, with a new segment designed to rev up more discussion called TurboTalk. It did indeed lead to some insightful discussion, and the whole evening was thoroughly thought-provoking. Here’s the complete line-up:
- Sport | NCAA and UK Basketball Debriefing
- Spiritual Life | What God Did in My Life During 40 Days of Fasting by Matt Clement
- TurboTalk | Is Socialism Biblical?
- Books| Book Reports by Ryan Loghry (Play the Man by Mark Batterson, plus Ryan’s application of the book with his son); Josh Crawford (The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris); Larry Thompson (Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington)
- Career | Entrepreneurial Secrets You Can Apply to Any Career by Kyle Wells
- Mission | Native American Missions by Jeff Fint
Nineteen remarkable men were in attendance for the evening, including three guests: Neil, Chad Lindon’s son; Rick, Dale Tolliver’s future son-in-law; and Kamron, Larry’s neighbor. The evening’s menu featured “The World’s Best Lasagna,” and most agreed that the dish lived up to the recipe’s name.
Please feel free to leave comments on what stood out to you during the evening and on various resources that would be good follow-up for the topics discussed. With regard to socialism and the role of government, I wanted to point to a blog I wrote that expands on my concept of small, biblically-correct government which I mentioned during our discussion
Next quarter’s gathering of The Drawing Room will be July 11, 2019. Don’t miss it. Justin Camblin will be smokin’ a pork butt for us!
