- (Bonus) Seeking Shalom at the Capitol: A Conversation with Scot Wall of Capitol Commission
In this bonus episode, Joshua and Grant from Denton North Church interview Scot Wall, a state minister with Capitol Commission in Texas. They discuss Scot's unique ministry role as a 'pastor to the Capitol,' supporting and praying for elected officials and staff. The conversation delves into the dynamics of Scot's ministry, including the challenges and opportunities in his work with legislators, and highlights Scot's journey from teaching and pastoring to his current role. Scot also shares insights on the importance of relational ministry and the impact of a Christian presence in political spaces. The episode emphasizes the broader mission of seeking the well-being and wholeness (Shalom) of communities, the complexities of Christian involvement in politics, and practical ways for local churches to pray for and engage with their leaders.

About Denton North Church
From the publisher's feed
We are a small church plant in Denton, TX. Jesus gave a command: to love one another as he loves us. He goes on to say that "everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one…
another." We work to make care for each other, for our city, and for our world the utmost priority in our lives. Love is more than simply a feeling or even a philosophy for us, it is a lifestyle commitment that guides where we live, what we do, how we treat people, and ultimately who we are. This is our church. These are some of our recorded sermons if you'd like to listen.
