Brian and Lisa welcome special guest, JR Rozko, Director of Missional Innovation for Churches for the Sake of Others and co-founder of Canton Abbey and Common Life Church.

JR was a part of the International Friends Multiplication Conference in November at the Malone campus as he led a workshop discussing fresh expressions of church and what that could look like. He has a unique and important voice in Canton, Ohio and we hope that church leaders and church planters alike will find this episode particularly challenging and encouraging!
