The Church In-Between Times: A Conversation with Nate Collins

Is it possible that conversations about the church might be interesting or even fascinating?

Rector’s Cupboard was invited to partner with David Goa, a friend of the podcast (Sunny Boy, December 2020 and Most People are Better Than Their Theology, January 2020) to speak with others about the state and future of the church as we move from 2021 to 2022.

What is the church? 
Who is the church?  
Does the church play any important role in larger culture? 
These conversations have an “on the ground” aspect to them and they seek to address larger questions of the place and identity of the Christian church in our society.

In this second episode of our special series we speak with Nate Collins, Pastor at Hillside Baptist Church, North Vancouver. Nathan’s reflections on the church moved towards considerations of some of the common struggles and questions of vocation for pastors and towards the role of the church in the spiritual growth of its adherents.
