Episode 101: Ben Aguilera on Culture, Community, and Loving Your Neighbor


Listen Later

Ben Aguilera, pastor of BLVD Church and Executive Director of LAUP in Holland, Michigan, sits down and talks about what it means to build community and serve others.  He shares his experience growing up in the Chicano culture in Southern California and the differences that he noticed (and began to embrace) as he moved to the Midwest.

We talk about raising up leaders that reflect the diversity of the community that they serve, empowering the Latinex community where he lives, and why it's so important to build church community one relationship at a time.

Plus...we talk about the Enneagram, and how understanding his unique design as an Enneagram 8 has empowered him and encouraged him to be exactly who God created him to be.  Listen in today on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, jennvanhekken.com/podcast, or anywhere you find your favorite episodes!
