Unexpected Seekers (with Tom Wharin)

What this episode covers

Your church might have the best outreach programmes and top-notch facilities, or maybe its struggling to survive on a dying high street in a small market town. Either way, God surprises us with unexpected seekers, especially during this 'odd cultural moment', coming on unconventional journeys to faith. How can we be ready to participate in what God is doing, wherever He's placed us? Simon and Gavin speak with "Two Pastors in a Pub" podcaster Tom Wharin, this time on PEP Talk.  Tom Wharin is the minister of Chipping Sodbury Baptist Church in South Gloucestershire.   He participates in various Baptists Together ministerial recognition (recruitment and training) groups and is passionate about mentoring and discipleship (of ministers and of Christians in general). He goes mountain biking whenever the opportunity arises and is one of the pastors in the Two Pastors in a Pub [https://www.cs-bc.org.uk/two-pastors-in-a-pub] podcast, with Matt Frost [https://www.solas-cpc.org/pep-talk-with-matt-frost/] and Karen Simson.  He is married to Jo and they have four young adult footballing kids.
