"God told me, 'Not this one. He has a plan for you.'" Join Gabe Kolstad as he welcomes Lance Orton, a leader at City Team Portland, and Elise Galis, program director of Together PDX for an incredible conversation about making friends, engaging city leaders, and seeing God's redemptive work. Lance shares his raw, vulnerable testimony: from a privileged youth to a decade-long battle with addiction and homelessness, culminating in a miraculous encounter that led him to City Team. Discover how his unique life experience and "gifting for making friends" are now invaluable in bridging divides between the church, the city, and people experiencing homelessness. Hear how Lance is collaborating with Mayor Keith Wilson to address Portland's most pressing issues and how City Team is making a tangible difference.
