Cheer up! The church’s future is complicated and contested, but it’s also certain. https://t.co/3Yvsa7xBTn

It was such a delight to host Al Gordon on the Making Space Podcast! We believe in the movement the Saint Church is spearheading: bringing beauty back to churches as an apologetic of the extravagant goodness of God. https://t.co/ZATlves8ma
