There’s a different way to be a Christian and a different way to do church. With over 30 years of experience in ministry and strategic planning, Dave Gibbons shares how they’ve revolutionized Newsong Church to look less like an institution and more like the X-Men Academy.

In his book “The Shape of My Eyes,” Dave shares how we can all discover clues from our past to help us reexamine our beliefs and values. He also explains just how inclusive the love of God is and how we can practically tap into the vast inclusivity of it to better love the people around us…even including people who have hurt us, disagree with us or are generally difficult to love.

Collective anxiety anyone? Even though the election is over, tensions are still running high. Conversations seem to either be filled with misunderstanding or they’re being bypassed and not happening at all.

This interview between two pastors will help you hold onto hope, remind you that you are not alone, give you permission to feel your feelings and help you navigate communication with family and friends. There will be no spiritual bypassing here, and we’ll even help you know how to respond when you hear that happening.

Take a deep breath, invite the Holy Spirit to reveal your personal blindspots and let’s move forward in the good work of loving like Jesus together.
