Episode 5 - Pursuing Much Joy in Our Cities and Throughout the Bay Area with Phillip Lee

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we are joined by Phillip Lee, pastor of Hope Community Church in Fremont and serves as the Executive Director for CityServe in the Fremont Tri-Cities. Philip shares a bit of his story -- how he came to know and love Christ, how he pursued a call to ministry and was given opportunities to serve and lead at a very young age, yet he saw God bless his ministry. As we talked about the Bay Area, we discussed the effects and results of sin as well as the power of the Gospel power to change lives. We discuss challenges and stresses that pastors experience in ministry and the necessity of keeping a clear and Christ-focused mindset. We also dabble a little bit into the differences between Presbyterians and Baptist and how various traditions may address things differently given the situation and timing. There are some parts of this conversation you will want to take with you.
