In this episode of the Jesus Collective podcast, we sit with Dr. Mike O'Shea, Lead Pastor at Waterville Community Church and author of "All The Way Down: Rebuilding Christian Faith from the Rubble of Evangelicalism."

Many Christians—especially young Christians stepping into a world and a church devastated by division, scandal, and abuse—are asking the question: "What is the gospel?" and deciding that the gospel is not good news. For many, it seems like our faith has little to offer the world around us. Our gospel has become too small—it looks nothing like the Jesus who embodies good news in the flesh. But what if we could re-discover the radical power of a Jesus-shaped Good News that upends religions, disrupts empires, heals the wounded, and empowers the marginalized? Join us as we chat with Jonny Morrison about his new book "Prodigal Gospel" which helps us get lost and found again in the Good News.

At Jesus Collective, we want to be a part of a movement that is trying to look more like Jesus in all things-- and that even includes how we grieve.

Leanne challenges common notions about grief, advocating for authentic emotional processing and the importance of rituals. She shares insights on supporting those in mourning, discusses how loss reshaped her pastoral approach and explores finding hope amidst pain. Whether you're a pastor, church leader, or anyone navigating the difficult terrain of loss, this episode offers profound insights on creating space for authentic grieving and finding hope in the darkest moments. Join us for a conversation that will challenge, inspire, and provide practical guidance for walking alongside those in grief.
