Everybody works. But what is it? For some, it’s their biggest curse! For others, it’s who they are. And for more still, it’s merely a necessary part of getting by and paying the bills. So how are we supposed to know what work really is and what it’s supposed to be like?

A couple of episodes ago episode, we talked to Pastor David Hackney about church planting, pastoring Cedar City Church, and what's in store for their gospel efforts in Lebanon, Ohio. While we shared what it was like to send a group of healthy, invested, committed members of The Village away from our community and into a new one, we didn't talk much about what it would be like to stay.

Matt, Michael, and Scott spend this episode - just like the last one! - talking about what it means to be sent by God to stay here. In part two of our conversation, we'll look back at how the last 10 years have prepared us for the next 10, what we hope is the same (and different!), and how we believe God wants to challenge the church (including ourselves!) right now. Enjoy!

Matt, Michael, and Scott are spending this episode - and the next one! - talking about what it means to be sent by God to stay here. In part one of our conversation, we'll talk a bit about the state of The Village, as well as the state of our own hearts. We'll also discuss where we're hoping to steer the church by God's grace and under his leadership. Enjoy!
