    Money | Episode 27
    2026/01/29
    Finally, we have our lead pastor, Jonathan Smith, back in the studio with us again for Episode 27 of the Follow Podcast! He may not be a fan of spreadsheets, but he can still have a great conversation about money... And a conversation about money from two church leaders may not flow in the direction you expect. In his words: "It's a little complicated." *Stuff We Mentioned* [or wished we did] - Follow Wednesdays: https://1church.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3187098 - You Are What You Love - James K.

    Episode 26 of the follow podcast is a bit of a microcosm - a conversation with some friends about what life looks like together. It's so great to have Daniel Leung back on the podcast - this time with his partner, Maki Nishikaze. They've spent 15 years learning what it's like to live life with others invited to the table. A great opportunity to be inspired towards it for each of us in our own way.

    Follow Podcast Episode 20 This is a special one-shot episode with a unique guest: Steve Joneslee talking about the environment. Prepare to be challenged and encouraged as we discuss the overlap between faith and creation. At the same time, we're going to learn how each of us can make a difference. It's hard to find sensible voices that aim to balance a high view of the Christian faith with "ruffling some feathers" at work to champion environmentally positive choices. We found one of those voices in Steve, and it's a privilege to have him on the podcast! *Stuff We Mentioned* [or wished we did] - Stevesjlee.com - Steve's website, which includes some of the work he's a part of - The Green Bible - originally published by HarperOne - this edition is no longer in print, although you can find it through some resellers - The Green Team - OneChurch.to is taking steps toward creation care and you can be a part of it by signing up to the green team here: https://form.jotform.com/250335180715249 ----- The Follow Podcast is an honest and open conversation for anyone actively learning to live like Jesus.
