Summary

This week we're talking about a children's book that rustled up many childhood memories. Pax is the story of a boy and his pet fox, separated but determined to find their way back to each other. We talk about the parallels to Homeward Bound and Toy Story, how an animal as a central character reels in young readers, the importance of found family, and the meaning behind the name Pax.

Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kemy-deschamps/support Truth Encounter: The Church The Body of Christ Dave Wyrtzen There are more mega-churches in the U.S. than ever before, but the number of Americans who actually go to church is decreasing. Could it be that all of our market driven strategies and plans are causing Christians to move about from one hotspot to the next, but not bringing new babies into Christ's family?

Listen to this eight part series and stop church hopping and start church planting and building.
