The Living SENT PodcastInterview: James Hobson, Hill City Church (How Hospitality Transforms Cities, Radical Generosity, Loving Where You Live)I sit down with longtime friend and pastor James Hobson of Hill City Church in Lynchburg to trace his journey from ministry training days to planting a diverse, urban church in his hometown. James shares powerful stories—like a life-changing encounter with a man named “Low Key”—that reveal how radical hospitality and everyday generosity can quietly transform a city. Together, we unpack the tension of leading a multi-ethnic, politically and socially diverse church, and why choosing to “not just point, but walk with people” may be one of the most countercultural ways to follow Jesus today.🔗 Show Notes
