In this episode, I discuss a theology of Christian innovation, and how failure is simply an opportunity to pivot in a new direction. In the gospel, we have access to mercy, forgiveness, and new life, and these embolden us to take risks of faith in mission.

In this episode, I talk about a tool I, and others, use to discern what God is saying and what we should do about it. The tool is called the Learning Loop. I also explain how I am currently engaging with this tool to help me discover the next phase of ministry with Love First.

Missional church planting focuses on getting into the neighbourhood, meeting people where they are at, and helping them connect to Jesus in incarnational ways. As such, missional church planting is about helping people form new habits. In this podcast, I share how my family had to learn new habits around homeschooling, and how I applied that insight to the Love First Movement. I also cast vision for extending our work into the communities that spread up the Ontario side of Lake Huron and into the Bruce Peninsula.
