Rethinking Christian Leadership In A Liminal Age

Never Miss An Episode

If you feel like leading your church is 100% harder today than it was just a few years ago, you’re not crazy. It is.

The old maps of leadership don’t work anymore. We’re in brand new territory. Everything has changed. We need new maps in order to lead well. It’s time to rethink Christian leadership in a post-everything world.

Meet the hosts

John Houmes

John is a native South Floridian. After attending college in the deep South, serving in cross-cultural church plants in East Nashville & London, and pastoring a multi-cultural church in urban St. Louis, he returned to South Florida to plant New City Fellowship. His mission is to empower and equip followers of Jesus so that they can engage real people and real issues in a real world with the Gospel. John loves communicating God’s Word and talking about the Good News of Jesus, the promises of God, unity and diversity through Christ, and God’s Kingdom agenda.He also enjoys English Premier League football (particularly Liverpool), photography, reading a lot of books at one time, telling and hearing stories, and learning about cultures other than his own.

John is married to Virginia. They have three children.  John has a Master of Divinity from Covenant Theological Seminary and has served in ordained pastoral ministry since 2010.

Brad Edwards

Brad Edwards is the lead pastor of The Table in Boulder County, CO. He grew up viewing Christianity as an unfamiliar concept, often questioning its practices and symbols. Initially critical of the faith, he perceived it as hypocritical and anti-intellectual. This changed dramatically during a profound identity crisis in late college, leading him through a year of depression. This period marked a turning point, opening his eyes to the intellectual depth and existential satisfaction of the Gospel.

Together with his wife, Hannah, and their two sons, Ransom and Deacon, Brad has embarked on a series of adventures. These include establishing new churches with close friends, founding an award-winning arts non-profit, and roles as both a pastor and Army Chaplain. Brad’s interests range from analyzing enneagrams (he’s a 3w4) to skiing, managing his energetic dog Scout, critiquing TV show finales, and perfecting cocktail recipes.
