The Why, What, and How of Spiritual Direction (with Tara Owens)

Why Boston? Why Gather? Why Jesus? (with Rev Stephanie Spellers)

Aaron asks Rev Stephanie three questions about what it means to be a Christ-follower in the world right now, and helps us all reflect on our own lives. First, what location has shaped your faith in helpful and unhelpful ways? Second, why is it so important to gather these days rather than isolate? Third, why have you not given up on the Way of Jesus?
