E7: Applying Jesus to New Vision - Interview with Xach Blunt
Oh Boy! That’s right - my guy in the chair - who makes this whole experience possible - is stepping out in front of the mic today! Not that is anything new for Xach. What I learned about him, about his creative work and how he foresees how the Church will engage the next generation, left me wanting to let him just run with this thing all the time!
He is the best and really loved talking with him and having him in the hot seat. He is gracious and full of wisdom.
Season 2 is intentionally different than Season 1. In this season, we are talking with folks hard at work re-imagining what it means to respond and reform the issues within our society. These conversations are going to help us, in the Church, re-imagine what it means to be a part of the solution - the Kin-Dom Come.
