What does it look like to join in the mission of God — not through programs or blueprints, but through presence, listening, and local response? In this episode, we talk about creating experimental communities as a way of participating in the Missio Dei.
Rooted in the life of Jesus and shaped by Anabaptist values like simplicity, mutuality, and discernment, we explore how community can emerge through shared lived experience. These are communities that take risks, learn as they go, and stay close to the ground they’re planted in.
Many of us are living with a deep dissatisfaction — with organized religion as it’s been, with society as it is, and with the pace and patterns of life that leave us fragmented and exhausted.
Counter Presence: Dissatisfaction Rooted in Hope is a series of conversations born from that unrest, and from a longing to live more grounded, more human, and more faithful lives. It’s about cultivating a presence shaped by the life and teachings of Jesus, and formed through community, simplicity, mutuality, and hope — as exemplified by the Anabaptist tradition.
Not as an escape, but as a faithful way of being in the world, together.
