Podcast appearances and mentions of shawn arvin

Continuing with our series of Mantras, in this episode Kyle explores what it means to "Wreck the Roof," reflecting on the story from the gospels in which a group of friends tears a roof off a house to bring their paralyzed friend to Jesus. He talks with Shawn Arvin from Love City, a ministry in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville that is doing some outstanding outreach work for their neighbors. Love City opened a preschool for the children in the neighborhood and a restaurant that employs people from the neighborhood, started two urban farms, and have revitalized Portland’s Westonia Park. They also reflect on how  God cares for people “one at a time” through Shawn's story about God pursuing him until he came to faith in Christ and who now pursues others to share the good news of Christ.    Credits: Produced by Narrativo Executive Produced by Kyle Idleman and Cary Meyer Edited and Mixed by Mike Cosper Music by Dan Phelps
