  • I learned a lot

    I listened to this podcast three times in a row this morning. I learned so much and so many of my questions about reaching people without being churchy were answered. I literally stopped in my tracks as I was taking my morning walk and had tears well up when, the interviewee said that the answer to most of our questions concerning what people are looking for is “ community 100%”. We don’t have to make it complicated.

  • Needed Conversations

    The church and broader society needs to be having these conversations on emerging technologies and the future of the church. Rev. Lebrija is just the person to get these conversations started with his experience, vision, and excellent facilitation skills.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

On the Future of Church in 10 Years: What Could Change—and What Won't
Q: A, how did you come about them? And please let our audience know and introduce them to Jane McGonigal.
Loren explains the exercises from Jane McGonigal's Imaginable and how they sparked a structured set of future scenarios for the church, supplemented by his extensive conversations with thinkers and authors to ground the ideas in reality.
On Revitalizing Grimsby: A Journey of Faith and Community (Pt 1)
Q: What were some of the first concrete steps taken after arriving in Grimsby?
The team met the four existing congregants, negotiated with them to allow revitalization, held a conversion to plan a launch, opened doors midweek to welcome the community, and started a rhythm of outreach and invitation leading to a growing early congregation.
On Revitalizing Grimsby: A Journey of Faith and Community (Pt 1)
Q: What was the overall monetary investment over five years for Grimsby?
The investment for Grimsby was in the ballpark of a few hundred thousand pounds over five years, including initial salaries, capital equipment, and building repairs, with the diocese funding salaries initially and the church gradually becoming self-sustaining.
On Revitalizing Grimsby: A Journey of Faith and Community (Pt 1)
Q: How many people were on your planting team, and how were they funded?
There were four paid staff members (including the vicar, worship pastor, youth pastor, and operations). The diocese and HTB network funded salaries upfront, with a sliding scale over five years so the church could grow financially and eventually support itself.
Miguel A. De La Torre on Liberation and Ethics in the Age of AI
Q: How can communities apply this ethics in practical ministry and public life?
He emphasized storytelling, community accountability, and creative, non-traditional forms of ministry that raise consciousness—such as engaging with marginalized voices directly and using art or subversive acts to highlight injustices—rather than relying on passive hope.
