In this episode, Tyler had the opportunity to sit down with his friend and pastor, Brad Evangelista. For the past three years they’ve served as pastors together at CrossPointe Church. Since that time there’s been a pretty typical pattern of local church ministry, until March of 2020. It's likely the circumstances of 2020 have been some of the most consistently difficult and widespread that many of us have faced. And yet, Brad reminds us that God's goodness and faithfulness can be clearly seen and trusted, even—especially—in such a time as this. Join us as we talk about church planting, matters of doctrine and theology, ministry and shepherding during a pandemic, some potential negative effects of "virtual church" and pastoral encouragement to counteract them, and a bit about youth ministry.
