I sit down with longtime friend and pastor James Hobson of Hill City Church in Lynchburg to trace his journey from ministry training days to planting a diverse, urban church in his hometown. James shares powerful stories—like a life-changing encounter with a man named “Low Key”—that reveal how radical hospitality and everyday generosity can quietly transform a city. Together, we unpack the tension of leading a multi-ethnic, politically and socially diverse church, and why choosing to “not just point, but walk with people” may be one of the most countercultural ways to follow Jesus today.
