Live.Speak.Serve : A Podcast by The Liberti Communion of Churches

On this episode, Matt Harmon sits down with me to discuss ordination and the way our Communion of churches consider the offices of the church and those called to serve in them.

Each year our leaders gather for renewed encouragement and fellowship as we share in the blessings and burdens of ministry. These talks were recorded on Feb 1st 2025 at our annual Leadership Day. The theme this year was "Why The Church Is Still Worth It"
