Everybody has to eat. And every day we have the opportunity to love our neighbors through food. This podcast is dedicated to sharing the stories and opportunities for mission and ministry at the intersection of food and faith.
Barbecue is a slow job, and so is discipleship and community engagement. Pat Dirkse, a church planter in Compton, California and co-founder of City Catering, talks about how a shared passion for cooking and barbecue evolved into a catering business that engages the community. Through City Catering, Pat and his team mentor youth, feed their neighbors, and show the love of Christ through celebration and giving back. Listen in as Pat and Ed talk about barbecue, discipleship, and the slow work of sharing the Gospel.
