Jase, Al, Zach, and Christian sit down with Matt Chandler, lead pastor of The Village Church and author of “Becoming Like Jesus,” to talk about Matt's rough childhood, the church camp that changed his life, and why following Jesus is usually slower, messier, and more painful than people expect. Jase remembers taking a beating instead of fighting back and watching the man who attacked him later come to church wanting to hear about Jesus. The guys also dig into why suffering can expose what God wants to heal, and why the church is still the place where flawed people learn to love — and sometimes simply tolerate — one another.

Show NotesThe Pastorate ConferenceGive to our $30,000 June Match CampaignMark Clark's WebsiteVillage Church WebsiteBayside Church WebsiteThe Mark Clark PodcastThe Problem of Life by Mark ClarkThe Pastorate's City MeetupsThe Pastorate Pastors RetreatEpisode DescriptionIn today's conversation, Jason sits down with Mark Clark, the pastor who planted Village Church in British Columbia, and now the Global Senior Pastor at Bayside Church in California. Mark's story includes an atheist upbringing in Ontario, a late-teen conversion, a dream of becoming an academic at Oxford, and a call to plant a church in one of the most secular corners of North America. What began with sixteen people in his living room grew into one of the fastest-growing churches in Canada, and Mark reflects with both gratitude and candor on the road that took him there.Jason and Mark talk about the patience that shaped their early ministry years, waiting for the right time, the right people, and the right season to plant churches. Mark opens up his convictions around preaching, describing how he learned to speak to the skeptic and the lifelong believer in the same room, and why he refuses to choose between reaching the lost and discipling the found. He's also honest about the cost of leading through rapid growth, including the burnout seasons that left him preaching dizzy and gripping the pulpit to stay upright.The conversation also turns to what it meant to leave the church he founded and entrust it to leaders he loves, and the insecurity that keeps many leaders from transitioning. Drawing on Zechariah 10, he candidly describes his calling as making warhorses out of sheep, a vision he holds with both conviction and a winsome humilityIn this episode you'll hear:How an atheist kid from Ontario became a church planter in one of Canada's most secular cities,Why patience, the right time, people, and season, mattered more than urgency in the plant,How to preach to the skeptic and the lifelong believer in the same room,What the burnout seasons cost Mark, and the team decision that reshaped his preaching,Why he left the church he founded, and what it's been like to watch it flourish under new leadership,How Zechariah 10 reframed his calling around raising and releasing the next generation of leaders.PartnersWould you consider giving to our summer match campaign? Every donation in June will be matched by a generous donor up to $30,000.Generis has created a Pastorate-exclusive Generosity Cohort. Over one year, eight pastors leading churches with annual budgets under $1 million will journey together, coached by Jon Wright, who will help develop a customized generosity plan for their church. Because it's cohort-based and designed for Canadian pastors, it offers a more affordable option than 1on1 coaching. This cohort launches in July 2026 and is limited to eight pastors. If this sounds like it could serve you and your church, you can reach out to Jon Wright here.

In this sermon series, we will explore the themes of good and evil, shame, identity, and the power of community.  We hear many voices every day. Not all of the voices are good. There are evil voices, too. Our task is to discern which voice is worthy of our attention. Jesus says his sheep follow him because they know his voice. The battle of voices is a central theme for both Rumi and Jinu.  John 10:1-6 Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit.   Support the showContact Village Presbyterian Churchvillagepres.orgcommunications@villagepres.org913-262-4200Have a prayer request?  congregational-care@villagepres.orgFacebook @villagepresInstagram @villagepreschurchYouTube @villagepresbyterianchurchTo join in the mission and ministry of Village Church, go to villagepres.org/givingWe are a Presbyterian (USA) congregation located in the greater Kansas City area.

“A healthy community is a thick system of relationships. It is irregular, dynamic, organic, and personal. Neighbors show up to help out when your workload is heavy, and you show up when theirs is. In a rich community, people are up in one another's business, know each other's secrets, walk with each other in times of grief, and celebrate together in times of joy. In a rich community, people help raise each other's kids. In these kinds of communities, which were typical in all human history until the last sixty years or so, people extended to neighbors the sorts of devotion that today we extend only to a select few.” –David Brooks, The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life Support the showContact Village Presbyterian Churchvillagepres.orgcommunications@villagepres.org913-262-4200Have a prayer request?  congregational-care@villagepres.orgFacebook @villagepresInstagram @villagepreschurchYouTube @villagepresbyterianchurchTo join in the mission and ministry of Village Church, go to villagepres.org/givingWe are a Presbyterian (USA) congregation located in the greater Kansas City area.

In this episode, we welcome Matt Chandler back to the show. He is a world-renowned preacher, pastor, and author. He's been the Senior Pastor of The Village Church in Texas since 2002 and is also the Executive Director of the board of the Acts 29 Church Network. He is also the author of The Explicit Gospel, The Mingling of Souls, The Overcomers, Take Heart, and his newest book out now called Becoming Like Jesus: The Everyday Journey to Living a Life of Holiness. In this interview, we discuss how his jiu-jitsu journey helped him understand that our journey of faith won't “always be up and to the right”, the importance of The Beatitudes, why most Christians struggle with their sanctification, what he has done about some of his previous messages with themes that included elements of Critical Theory, how we can train for meekness, our struggles with wisdom and discernment, the importance of community for the Christian, and much more.
