What if the church of tomorrow looked less like an institution and more like a grassroots movement? Tune in to today’s episode of the Faithly Stories podcast as host Alicia Lee sits down with Eugene Kim, founder of New Wine Collective and Executive Director of the Wild Fig Network, to explore a bold, necessary reimagining of Christian community in today’s spiritual landscape.

Drawing from over 25 years in ministry, Eugene shares how his own journey led him to re-evaluate traditional denominational structures and develop new models of church grounded in interdependence, mutual accountability, and justice-oriented community. Through powerful initiatives like New Wine and Wild Fig, he’s helping to create spaces where innovation and authentic listening guide spiritual formation.

Together, we examine the rise of alternative gatherings and decentralized leadership structures—and how these shifts are resonating with a generation disillusioned by traditional models but still deeply hungry for meaning and connection.
