There's something about unfiltered conversations with good people that reaches really deep. They're the ones that leave you chewing on an idea for days. Those are the conversations we're hunting for on the Follow Podcast: honest and open conversations for people who are actively learning to live like Jesus. If that sounds like you, grab a cup of tea... or your favourite seat on the bus, and jump into the conversation!
Finally, we have our lead pastor, Jonathan Smith, back in the studio with us again for Episode 27 of the Follow Podcast! He may not be a fan of spreadsheets, but he can still have a great conversation about money... And a conversation about money from two church leaders may not flow in the direction you expect. In his words: "It's a little complicated."*Stuff We Mentioned* [or wished we did]- Follow Wednesdays: https://1church.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3187098- You Are What You Love - James K.

Episode 26 of the follow podcast is a bit of a microcosm - a conversation with some friends about what life looks like together. It's so great to have Daniel Leung back on the podcast - this time with his partner, Maki Nishikaze. They've spent 15 years learning what it's like to live life with others invited to the table. A great opportunity to be inspired towards it for each of us in our own way.Season #6: Follow Fresh - Following along with the OneChurch.to teaching series "new." in January 2026 - we're learning new ways to pray, to rest, to do community and to give.
