"Everyone's story is worth knowing." That's the slogan of Judson Stone, my latest guest on the Practical Faith Academy podcast. With that philosophy, Stone goes into each day using listening as a key element to build relationships, first in his daily appointment with God, and then in his interactions with other people.
Judson Stone is a retired pastor who has also served as a corporate chaplain in charge of corporate giving. He has served on several community boards and in volunteer activities, and he is currently involved in prison ministry in Florida. Stone recently released his book, “A Modest but Crucial Hero” about his ancestor, George Stone, a young man who passed away in Oman in the late 1800s while serving as a missionary.
