In this episode, I am joined by Pastor Sam Sears, who has recently embarked on an inspiring journey to plant a new church across the country. With a love of apologetics and a heart for reaching people where they are, Sam shares his approach to church planting through intentional discipleship and relationship-building. He emphasizes the importance of connecting with individuals in the community and inviting them into a transformative faith experience. Sam also delves into his unique perspective on storytelling as a means of cultural engagement, discussing his Christian horror novel, The Templars Survive Beneath Us, which explores profound spiritual themes through its exciting plot.
