The World is Complex.
We Need Clarity.
The News isn’t Helping.
Mike Woodruff has been a pastor for over 40 years. During that time, an increasing number of people have been captured by conspiracy theories, overwhelmed with anxiety or seething in anger. 5 years ago, Mike embarked on a journey to understand what was happening.
He discovered the primary forces reshaping the news and the necessary practices for staying sane in a 24/7 news cycle. On The News will explain what’s happened since the Cronkite era and then offer a pathway for you to navigate this strange new world.
This is the first in a new series of Guidebooks published by Lakelight Press. Stay tuned for the next project.
