In this episode, they discuss faith, calling, worship, and Christian witness in a busy and uncertain world. Drawing on Scripture, lived experience, and his books, Aaron explores why repentance and forgiveness sit at the heart of the gospel, and how worship forms us into a different way of being human.

  • Growing up in a clergy household and his early faith formation.
  • Aaron’s call to ministry and how it relates to the calling of Moses.
  • Aaron’s new book, Weird in the World: Living Towards the World God Wants, which addresses the distinctiveness of Christian life in a secular world.
  • How Aaron stays spiritually grounded.
  • When ministry starts to feel like too much, what role does Scripture play.
