If you have been wanting to listen to a great podcast but just didn't think you had the time, this is your opportunity! We've got a quick, power-packed episode of the White Wing Messenger podcast ready for you to listen and download.

In this 8th episode of the podcast, Marsha Robinson sits down with pastor, graphic designer, and writer Charlie Scruggs as they pack 17 minutes with so much valuable information about digital evangelism—the theme of the June White Wing Messenger—you will want to listen more than once!

As a young, dynamic minister in the Church of God of Prophecy, Charlie Scruggs knows that visual storytelling and thoughtful social media and website design can enhance a church’s online witness. Marsha asked Charlie about his church in Newport News, his inspiration for the magazine, and his expertise with digital media. Together, the mangaging editor and the graphic designer/pastor explore how the Church can leverage technology to reach and reconcile the world to Christ. It's a conversation about pixels, purpose, and the power of “sending” the Good News in a digital world.

The White Wing Messenger Podcast invites you to pull up a seat and join Managing Editor Marsha Robinson for a lively, laughter-filled, and heartfelt conversation with three dynamic leaders from the Church of God of Prophecy. Together, they dive into some of their most memorable mission field moments—from the funny to the faith-building—as they celebrate the people and places that have shaped their passion for global outreach.

Marsha stirs the conversation with questions like: What is your first memory of a missionary or missionary story? What’s the most unexpected thing that ever happened to you while serving or visiting the mission field? If you could bring one cultural experience from the mission field into every church, what would it be?

The episode concludes with a powerful prayer and the final question, “If you had five minutes to call any missionary you’ve ever met, who would you call and what would you say?” It is a truly inspiring conversation.

It’s a roundtable full of stories, smiles, and spirit, and you won’t want to miss a single moment.

Join podcast host Managing Editor Marsha Robinson as we end the month of April with a roundtable discussion of this month’s White Wing Messenger.
