Join me, Christopher Wesley, on The Church Podcast for Episode 026, where I sit down with Chris Bartlett, president of Ablaze Ministries. In this engaging conversation, we explore the concepts of radical hospitality and shadow optimism within the church. Chris shares his insights on why apathy poses a greater threat to the church than heresy and emphasizes the importance of active evangelization. We discuss how radical hospitality involves creating welcoming spaces, even if it means being uncomfortable, to foster deeper connections and engagement in the liturgy. Whether you're a ministry leader or a faithful listener, this episode offers valuable perspectives on how we can all contribute to a more vibrant church community. Tune in to learn how we can do church better together.
