In this episode, we are joined by our friend Eddy Ekmekji. Eddy serves as a pastor in Southern California and he helps us think about how to guide a community through the disciple-making process. If you’re in a faith community where your egalitarian conviction can struggle to be expressed fully, this is the episode for you!
