Today's episode is a conversation with Chuck Marohn, the founder and President of Strong Towns, a non-profit working to reimagine community development in the United States. Chuck and his team at Strong Towns advocate for development that is adaptable, financially responsible and profitable, and local. They remind us that the current models of development, including the Suburban experiment are modern practices with short-term imaginations, and that thriving communities across history and context develop incrementally through local control, community collaboration, and good financial sense.

In this episode, Chuck and I talk about the Suburban Experiment and its limitations, why churches are a great context for talking about community development, and what it means for the church to be a good neighbor. I had a great time talking with a fellow Minnesotan and community builder, and I hope you have a blast listening to my conversation with Chuck Marohn.
