Good conversations that stir the heart and tease the imagination. That’s what Rachael and I got to have tonight along with a group of other students from Calvin Theological Seminary. Thanks to Ryan and Rebekah Wallace and the newly formed Church Planting Club, a group of about 30 students and spouses gathered to hear from newly appointed seminary president Jul Medenblik as we shared food and drink together. He told stories from his own ministry; stories of the gospel’s transforming and often surprising power in people’s lives.
The Christian Reformed Church has not always been known for its innovative missional church planting, but perhaps the fresh breeze of the Spirit is beginning to move. If so, it is pretty exciting to be a part of the conversations.
