Have you ever wondered about the profound significance of the church, and the role it plays in fostering relationships?

In this dialogue, we unravel the importance of transparency in church governance and address the hesitations of engaging with the church.

Our conversation extends to discuss how to actively support and engage in church activities, focusing on inclusivity and making everyone feel welcome. We offer insights on identifying areas of need and becoming the hands and feet of the church. Shifting gears, we discuss how to represent ourselves both inside and outside the church, working through disagreements, and using trials to shape us into better leaders.
