Hospitable Singing Warriors for Christ - A Conversation with Zack Gilman & Sean Kinnally

I believe there is much to learn from other Christian traditions. From where I stand, the Methodist tradition has lost much of what once made us great and effective. I recently noticed a church that is strong where many churches are weak: singing, family ministry, men, and children. I wanted to learn from these folks about how to effectively facilitate such a dynamic in my own tribe.

This is a conversation with two men who have seen the power of the scriptures to plant a countercultural community within San Diego. They lead a high standards community, with a quality membership covenant, a shared sense of identity, and a culture of happy warriors for Jesus. They do not conform to the big box evangelical squishy churches. They, rather, model zeal and integrity for the Lord. We would do well to consider their witness.
