Part II of The Follow Podcast's 3rd season! If you missed the first episode in this season, "What is Knowing God" check it out here: https://youtu.be/n9lvgl8OOfA In Episode 10 we're talking all about what we mean by "Loving People." We start again with our Lead Pastor, Jonathan Smith, unpacking how we define Loving People and why it matters to us. Then we're going to talk about how we're aiming to live that out as a community with Special Guest Jesse Sudrigo and our own Pastor Jessica Collins.

This season we'll be taking an in-depth look at the mission statement of our faith community (OneChurch.to). What does it mean to Know God, Love People and Impact Our City? We'll be chatting with some of our staff and community to see what it looks like when it's expanded from nice words to lived values.
