Be the Light in Your Community w/ Luke Merideth

This week, Debi and guest co-host Sam Oriza are joined by Luke Meredith, Co-Pastor of the Colorado City Dream City Campus and Co-Director of the Short Creek Dream Center.Luke shares some of his backstory and how he ended up at the Short Creek Dream Center.  He talks about the miraculous twists and turns of life and how that helped prepare him for ministry to people with very unique needs.   Much of the community has wounds from religious abuse and familial trafficking in the form of child marriage and polygamy. They have church hurt and a distrust of outsiders, so ministry is done largely outside of the 4 walls of a church.  Pastor Luke talks about how they have built up trust by loving the community, meeting their needs and not asking for anything in return.  Luke also serves on the town council in his community. He talks with Debi and Sam about running for and serving on the town council, why local government is important and why Christians should be active in government.  To find out more about the Short Creek Dream Center, to donate or to plan a short term missions trip, visit https://www.shortcreekdreamcenter.org/To Find out more about Dream City Church https://dreamcitychurch.usPlease follow Into the Fire podcast on your favorite podcast platform, give us a 5-star rating and leave a review!
