In this Podcast, Andrea St. Louis helps me interview Monica and Jeremy Chambers.

We discuss a burden for people in a post-Christian culture, whose hearts are often hardened to the church as we know it and do not find our common expressions of faith to be inviting.

Jeremy and Monica have given themselves to removing obstacles that are keeping people from tasting the love of God and experiencing intimacy with Him.  This involves a measure of intentionality and prayer, but no forcing or force-feeding.

We briefly consider the value and power of Micro-Churches.

We discuss burn-out and how a needed sabbatical saved, restored and changed both Jeremy and Monica.  And, we heard of some of their encounters with God - and practices they have found particularly spiritually helpful.

Jeremy and Monica have participated in launching disciple-making movements and networks of house churches in 35+ countries with a special heart for Richmond, VA. They also love rock climbing, chess, Costa Rica (where Monica is from), practicing MMA, hardcore metal, dubstep, and indoor plants. Prayer is of utmost importance in their lives. Jeremy has Masters degrees in both Intercultural Studies and Christian Studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
