Rich Villodas has been a friend of Seedbed since speaking at our New Room Conference in 2021. His books explore living life in the footsteps of Jesus as we see him in the Gospels. This discussion between J. D. and Rich centers around the Sermon on the Mount and its profound impact on their lives and ministries. They explore themes such as the importance of living out the teachings of Jesus, the role of humility and love in overcoming societal challenges like toxic partisanship, and the significance of emotional health in spiritual growth. Rich shares personal stories of his spiritual journey, including his family's conversion and the mentorship of his grandfather, emphasizing the transformative power of scripture. They also discuss the practical application of the Sermon on the Mount in daily life and ministry, highlighting the need for integrity and maturity in leadership.
Join Rich, J. D. and others at our upcoming New Room Pastor's Retreat this February 25–27 in Black Mountain, NC: https://my.seedbed.com/product/new-room-pastors-retreat-2026/
