As the collective interviews in our local pastor series have exemplified, ministry is not for the faint of heart. Few people see the hours, the weight, and the pressure that pastors carry behind the scenes. It's a process. But these are the moments that build the church. That mature the church. The outworkings of faith are the journey, not just the destination. The product is formed in the process. The gold is refined in the fire.

Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for this week's interview with Pastor Marco Contreras as he shares the ups and downs, the memories and milestones of the process that have brought him to where he is today. And if you're local to San Diego, tune in for news on the grand re-opening of the church campus and what you can expect to experience in this brand new rebuild.

Pastors, ARM is calling on you for the survival of the faith in the youngest generations. Will you open your doors to an academic outreach mission that will reunite families and transform your community? Education is formation. Join us on the Academic Rescue Mission from preschool to college, and let's take back education for the next generation.
