Redemption Unscripted

College ministries, camps, conferences, Christian schools, and mission organizations have helped countless people grow in their faith. Many of us have personally benefited from them. But where do these ministries fit in relation to the local church? In this episode, Pastor Austin sits down with Pastor Rick and tackles an important question: What is the difference between a local church and a parachurch ministry, and why does it even matter? Pastor Rick will share about God's design for the local church, discuss the unique role parachurch ministries can and should play, and examine what happens when the lines between the two become blurred. We hope this episode challenges and encourages you.
