2025 Post-Summit Reflections

Fresh off the 2025 Community Minister Network Summit in Louisville, KY, Jerome and Becky are joined by special guest Carissa Figgins for a real, refreshing recap of what made this year’s gathering so powerful. From unexpected ministry connections to vulnerable conversations about fear, advocacy, and the gospel, this episode is a heartfelt look at what happens when local outreach leaders get in the same room.Carissa shares her experiences on training volunteers, addressing practical issues like Narcan Training and CPR, and learning to lead not just through tasks but by casting a Kingdom-focused vision. Together, the trio also explores the importance of not shrinking back from dark or difficult spaces—because Jesus followers are called to light them up.
