In this episode of the Saturate Podcast, Duke Revard and Jeff Vanderstelt will be joined by Chris Gonzalez and Paul Dean. In 2020, we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Soma Family of Churches and we want to pause and look back and discuss what we have learned. Our conversation today asks the question, “what did you believe 10 years ago that you believe even more now?” Some things we were convinced of 10 year ago, some we were surprised by, some weren’t even in our awareness. 

Family identity

Discipleship requires significant relationships

Story-formed

Ministry is harder but for reasons you don’t understand

We assumed Spiritual Formation

Pew-sitters are found in any ecclesiology

Leadership development matters

Run the play but be flexible

Team is better

Our greatest failures are failures of faith, hope, and love
