In Episode 14, we talk with Leo Davison, Senior Minister at ChristChurch Wyre Forest (https://www.christchurchwyreforest.org.uk/). Leo is married to Vicky and together they have 3 children. Laurie and I met Leo and Vicky when we lived in Durham, England for three years (2007-2010) while I worked on a PhD at Durham University. Leo was a Minister at ChristChurch Durham where we attended, served, and did life together with so many wonderful people. I learned so much from Leo and the Christians in Durham. I firmly believe that Christians in the U.S. would be blessed by learning about gospel ministry in a very, non-Christian culture from our friends ‘across the pond’. To get the ball rolling, we discuss how Leo, a science major at University (his wife, Vicky, has a PhD in Neuroscience), came to faith in Christ through a high school friend who challenged him to investigate the claims of Christianity. Leo’s science background proved helpful both in recognizing the Creator’s handiwork and in critically evaluating the evidence as he searched for Truth. Now, as a minister, Leo devotes his life to helping others find and follow Jesus. England is a wonderful place in so many ways, and yet, as a Christian, its culture presents significant challenges to gospel ministry. Leo shares about the reality that gospel ministry is tiring. And yet, Leo affirms, God is good. Through the hard times, we can trust that God is at work in significant ways even during trials and challenges. Listen through to the end, and you will be blessed by his healthy, biblical take on the pandemic’s impact on their church. Hear how having the mind of Christ impacts how you deal with, and grow, through trials…even one as challenging as a pandemic.
