Hi there and welcome to Episode 20!

This is our 3rd episode of our series with Special Guest Chris Christensen!

This episode begins by finishing our discussion on his work in juvenile hall ministry — reflecting on what that environment is really like, the realities faced by the young people there, and what it means to show up faithfully when hope can feel thin.

From there, the conversation shifts to Chris’s time helping a church in Tanzania. He shares what he learned serving in a culture shaped by a deep sense of community, family, and relational responsibility, and how that way of life contrasts with what many of us experience in the Western world.

It’s a thoughtful and grounded conversation that challenges how we think about faith, community, and what it truly means to belong.

Hi there and welcome to Episode 19!

This is our 2nd episode of our series with Special Guest Chris Christensen!

Episode 19 features our second conversation with Chris Christensen, where he gives a clear, honest look into his prior work in juvenile hall.

Chris walks through how he got involved, what the role actually looked like on a practical level, the numbers and scale of the environment, and what home life was like for many of the young people he encountered. It’s a straightforward, real-world explanation of ministry in a space most people never see up close.

This is a great episode for encouragement for anyone considering evangelism or ministry in tough, under-volunteered environments. Not hype, not dramatized — just a realistic picture of what showing up faithfully can look like, and why these spaces matter.
