In this Part 1 of a 2-part final episode of Lavish Hope Season 2, Rev. Liz Testa hosts Rev. Phil Assink and Rev. Dwayne Jackson, newly-elected General Synod President and Vice President of the Reformed Church in America (RCA). The RCA has been going through some pretty significant challenges and yet many remain hopeful about the future. Phil and Dwayne cast an inspiring vision of leading with optimism, grounded in community, desiring to be role models as two diverse leaders working collaboratively and actually enjoying it! It was a delight to engage in lively discussion with these two, one from the orchards of Moxie City, Washington; the other from the subways of New York City, both committed to serving God and God’s people in embracing, not divisive ways. They share lots of interesting stories as well as helpful tips on leading in seasons of anxiety and change. You won’t want to miss these final episodes of Lavish Hope, Season 2!
