Lisa Degrenia is a pastor living in Sarasota, Florida, who has a deep heart for helping people experience God in a direct, real way—"helping ordinary folks experience God for themselves," as she terms it.
In this episode, we discuss:
* What is means to have a "virtual faith"—one that is observed, not experienced—and how contemporary churches and spiritual practices unwittingly set us up for this
* What chili con carne and football have to do with Lisa's vision for what's possible for our experiences of God and faith instead
* The kinds of practices that can help us grow in our direct experiences of God
* The role that fear and pride play in keeping people from these direct experiences
* How Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and all the other figures in Scripture don't have a corner on the market with this
* Her heart for equipping people in the church to be hometown missionaries
