Brandon Shields | Can the Church Recover the Way of Jesus?

from Creating Space

In this episode of Creating Space, Scott Lackey sits down with Brandon Shields, Director of Church Formation at Practicing the Way. Brandon previously served for fifteen years as the founding pastor of Soma Church in Indianapolis before helping churches cultivate intentional pathways of apprenticeship to Jesus. Together, we explore what spiritual formation is, why it matters for the church today, the challenges churches face in developing discipleship pathways, and why following Jesus is meant to happen in community. If you're longing to become more like Jesus or wondering how the church can better form disciples, I think you'll find this conversation both practical and encouraging.
