This podcast was CRAZY FUN! It flowed from jokes and laughter to deep sharing, heart connection, and even tears! At our last Kainos Koinonia (a conversation style conference devoted to encouraging others in familial style church life) I had a glorious chat with three incredible men. Join Eric Wilding, Silas Valentine, and Matt Spinks as they share their hearts openly and honestly. Each of these men have unique stories of discovering Jesus, friendships, and community. What they are doing in the earth is unprecedented and absolutely incredible! It was an honor to be able to sit down and hear their hearts for Jesus and community.
