Episode Description:
To be human is to long for home. No matter what your experience with home is, we all have an emotional connection to the idea of home. In this episode, we share a session from Orange Conference 2022, where Orange President Kristen Ivy talks about the Church’s responsibility to serve as a temporary home between Eden and eternity, and unpacks what that looks like so that we can create ministries that feel like home for the next generation.
