Rooted: The Power of Place in Ministry with Daniel Grothe

Описание: In this episode, we talk with pastor and author Daniel Grothe about the importance of place, presence, and agrarian imagery in shaping a faithful approach to ministry. Together, we explore how practices like gardening, shepherding, and rootedness help us resist abstraction and rediscover the incarnational nature of Christian leadership. Daniel shares stories from his own life and church that reveal how suffering, patience, and attention to people and place can lead to deep renewal. We reflect on how God works through seasons of death and growth to bring about a harvest of joy.
