As Kingdom leaders we live and lead in constant tension of overlapping spaces. As followers of Jesus, we don't truly fit in with the rest of the world, yet Jesus sends us into the world to engage with culture, to lead with compassion, wisdom, and courage so that others may be pointed to him.
On today's episode, Alan sits down with his brother, J.R for a conversation about J.R's new book The Sacred Overlap: Learning to Live Faithfully in the Space Between.
This is a very timely conversation with tons of application that is very relevant to our current climate.
Give this one a listen, and then again with someone else. You won't be disappointed.
About J.R.
