Tim Dichau is on the podcast! Tim was the pastor at Grandview Church for over two decades. He led the church to refocus its mission among the neighbourhood and for the good of the city.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of attention and collaboration in engaging where you are, and Tim shares many examples of how he’s experienced the significance of staying long enough to witness transformation. Tim also invites us to remember the role of repentance and the power of naming idols.
