Episode Thirty-Three // Conversation with AJ Thomas

In this episode of the podcast, I am pleased to share a recent conversation I had with longtime friend (and first-time podcast partner) AJ Thomas. AJ is the Lead Pastor of Deep Water Church in the Halifax area, and is deeply committed to his own faith tradition AS WELL AS not allowing his own faith tradition to alienate him from others. We share this in common. As such, this conversation centres mainly on the conundrums that come with this worldview.We talk about the so-called “New Evangelization”, why WWII “foxhole” metaphors are en vogue right now, the hip hop mantra of “real” recognizing “real”, and how the best kinds of unity aren’t forced but are a byproduct of mission. I learned a lot.What I do NOT share with AJ is his love for woodworking.
