Have you ever been labeled as a misfit? Joining me today is Kristin Mockler Young, teaching pastor at Mosaic Church and podcast host from Charlotte, North Carolina. She shares about how Jesus asks us to invite others to the table who may not be asked.
Kristin shares her journey from being a kindergarten teacher to becoming a pastor and the challenges she faced in accepting God's call. In this conversation, Danielle and Kristen discuss the challenges of adult friendships, particularly in the context of ministry. They explore the loss of friendships and the importance of having a small group of close friends. Plus, she emphasizes the importance of inviting misfits and creating inclusive communities. They also share the need for authenticity and embracing the unknown. Kristen shares her perspective on finding purpose in relationships and living in our God-given purpose.
