This is a sobering yet hope-filled episode. I sit down with
Summer Vinson Berger and Adam Paa to discuss the pain,
complexity, and redemptive potential of shepherding care in the
local church. From owning massive failures in 2015 to building a
robust, gospel-centered care framework at The Village Church, we
discuss stories, strategies, and heartfelt convictions about what
real, redemptive care looks like when the church chooses humility
over image.
Whether you’re walking through trauma, burnout, addiction, or
just longing for your church to care better—you’ll find wisdom
and honesty here. This episode is a call to take the mess
seriously, to listen better, and to believe that Jesus still
heals through His body.
