Audio interview with Andrew Root, author of “Relationships Unfiltered”

Relationships Unfiltered: Help for Youth Workers, Volunteers, and Parents on Creating Authentic Relationships

Last Friday I had the privilege of spending some time with Andrew Root (@RootAndrew on Twitter) on the campus of Luther Seminary in Minneapolis, where he serves as Assistant Professor of Youth and Family Ministry.

In addition to hanging out and attending one his classes, I was able to interview him about his newest book, Relationships Unfiltered. Relationships Unfiltered is sort of like a condensed, more practical, and less scholarly version of his first book, Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry, which I have called the "absolute best youth ministry book out there right now". Although less heady than Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry, Relationships Unfiltered definitely doesn't disappoint.

Anyway, you can listen to the interview below and/or download it for listening on portable devices. Enjoy.

Nope, no FirstThird action for me. I already travel to St. Paul 3 times a year as it is. Wish I could, though.
