Kyle Worley on Union with Christ for the Church Planter’s Soul

J.A. Medders & Kyle Worley

Host Jeff Medders is joined by Kyle Worley in this special episode of the New Churches podcast for a discussion on the surprising path that led Kyle to plant Mosaic Church in Richardson, Texas. Kyle shares how his pastoral heart for a specific people and place drew him into church planting, and how the doctrine of union with Christ has grounded and sustained him through the highs and lows of ministry. From stories of unexpected provision to powerful conversions, this conversation is a timely encouragement for church planters to root their identity not in results, but in their unshakable union with Jesus.
