This podcast is about Friends Summit, a conference that happens every four (or five) years for the evangelical Friends Church. Leading up to the conference in 2023, we decided to try and get the word out about the conference via podcasting. It will feature conversations with leaders, both young and old, from the Friends movement.
On this episode, Jacob has a quick chat with Nick Chesnes from Ohio. Nick is the lead pastor of North Star Friends Church (https://northstarperry.org) in Ohio and he is one of our main speakers at Friends Summit 2023. Listen to him chat about why he is excited about Summit and what he sees as some of the advantages and challenges of being a lead pastor while being so young.
