Relevant Magazine & Podcast: Cameron Strang’s Illumination (+ Video Interview)

Cameron Strang started this magazine called Relevant.

And a podcast. (Which he’s foolishly let me on the last three weeks.)

And an online magazine–specifically the iPad edition–that will blow your mind.*

Cameron Strang Relevant Illumination

In two of my recent posts with Annie and Jeff, you may have noticed I really enjoy interviewing people with my voice, not my pen. And since I’m trying to keep up with the tech-savvy Relevant crew, I interviewed Cameron using both audio and visual means.**

You’ll hear some great illumination moments and the wisdom he has gained through running a magazine for 14 years.  You’ll also see how the power of a simple “ask” can get you tickets to Lollapalooza.  Yeah, that’s happening. This girl’s about to use her press-pass to track down and interview her fellow Michigander, Eminem.

Let’s clean out that closet, Marshall. #dream #missionarydating #justkiddingmom

*I’ve literally heard large organizations say, “We just try to copy everything Relevant does online.”
** Have you guys heard of this thing called Skype? It’s crazy.

      So I’m not the only one who listens to the Relevant Podcast while they are running and looks like a crazy person because they are laughing! 😉 Thanks for this, Cameron’s story is great, I love that he takes risks for what he believes in, and I’m thankful for the spiritual conversations that the Relevant brand has opened for our generation. And it’s been sooooo fun having you on the podcast!

        Haha! We are NOT the only ones. Now that I’ve been trolling twitter I see there are other giggling joggers just like us, Julie!

      Hi Joy, I think I know you from Imago Dei. Your contribution to this podcast was fantastic. I hope you can become a regular contributor. Now that I’ve discovered your ministry, I’ll be following your blog. Thank you!

        Hi Kasey! Yes, I feel like we emailed a number of years ago when I tried to join a group you were leading. And somehow I never joined. (-: Thank you for your encouragement! The had way too much fun being on the podcast these past few episodes.
