How does being a high capacity leader and being a non anxious presence intersect? Today Grace and Andrew have the opportunity to chat with Dan Braga, hearing about his story and journey of ministry. Dan talks about how learning from the desert fathers and mothers of faith and practicing a contemplative spirituality saved not only his leadership and ministry, but his faith. Dan asks the question -- can you plant a church that doesn't kill leaders or the people who choose to be part of it...and thrive? And if so, what will that require of your inner life?
This episode will encourage you to rethink your pace and your presence you practice in community. We hope it encourages you.
Dan Braga loves the noble call of the local church pastor more than ever. He and his wife, Alexis, have been immersed in the church planting world for 20 years and currently lead Neighbors Church. Dan also teaches formation as an adjunct professor at his alma mater, Western Seminary, and is midway through a doctorate in Spiritual Theology under Jon Coe at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University. A lifelong surfer and self-described kook, he still paddles out almost every morning.
