Does the coronavirus pandemic prove the futility of ministry in walkable communities? In Episode 1 of Season 2, we bring back Keith Case from Season 1 to discuss how the coronavirus both challenges and validates the embedded church.
In this episode, we bring Keith Case back to our show to talk about how his church Providencia WPB in West Palm Beach, FL, is pursuing their mission in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis. Their church includes a lot of young adults working in industries that have been hit hard by the pandemic, so the church has helped incubate a new ministry to aid people in finding jobs. Keith also talks about the grieving that both he and his community have gone through as they process not being able to gather physically and enjoy face to face community interaction. In spite of this, they have developed some new rhythms for interacting with one another and within the community that have been meaningful and life-giving. Additionally, Keith discusses how the pandemic has impacted his preaching style and the ways this has shaped the way that Providencia understands itself as a community.
