Jack Gordon is a husband, father, documentary film maker, podcaster and interfaith community organizer. He is a co-founder of DDC International, organizer of the Interfaith Leadership Summit in Washington, DC and host of Interfaith-ish. On this episode, Jack and I talk about how households and faith communities across the religious spectrum are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic around the globe.

Church planters, I highly recommend checking out episode 19 of Interfaith-ish in which Jack talks to Jewish and Muslim leaders about starting new faith communities. And it was my privilege to be Jack's guest on episode 57.
