How shall we sing the Lord’s song in this strange land?

Together we explore the changing world we live in and how Church leaders can navigate these unknown territories. Hear from leaders around the Christian world, and gather insight on how they’re navigating ministry, work, and life in this strange land.

In this episode of This Strange Land, Jake Khym joins us to explore how a Gospel worldview can transform our identity, relationships, and spiritual lives. He and Jason unpack how to invite others into Kingdom reality, why identity is central to healing, and how our loves and sins reveal our deepest beliefs about who God is. Together, they reflect on how healing happens, how to pray with expectation, and why even the “crumbs” of God are enough to change everything. This is a deep and honest conversation about discipleship, desire, and discovering who we truly are in Christ.
