In this episode of the Luminous Podcast, discover the profound impact of authentic connections and cultural engagement in disciple-making as we recount Derek's journey with Joe, a First Nations man whose story of transformation will inspire you. This episode takes us through an intimate narrative, where initial resistance blossoms into a tale that bridges communities, faith, and cultural traditions. As Derek's ministry weaves into the fabric of a traditional gathering circle, we're reminded of the unpredictable yet faith-driven nature of sharing the gospel, the power of storytelling, and the importance of understanding the contexts we're called to serve.
