Edrin Williams is the Formation Pastor at Sanctuary Church in Minneapolis, working to create spaces for adults to Connect, Grow, & Serve in ways that draw them closer to God and other people. Today's episode features a powerful and engaging teaching from a recent sermon series entitled Mission Friends.

Bio excerpt: Beyond my work at Sanctuary, I am passionate about developing leaders of all ages who will impact society from their sphere of influence. I love writing and speaking! I am at my best when I'm using biblical teaching, humor, storytelling and my background in the humanities & social sciences to influence others in the ways of Jesus. Most recently, I was a contributor to the book, Father Factor: American Christian Men on Fatherhood and Faith, a project with White Cloud Press, and the author of Reclaiming Fatherhood, which appeared in YouthWorker Journal.
