Josh Good, pastor of Hillsdale United Brethren and current member of the Executive Leadership Team of the United Brethren Church, is our guest for this episode of UB Now. Josh and I (Brian) go back to our days on the UB Youth Ministry Team, but Josh's UB roots are much deeper than that. He grew up in a UB church and has served UB churches his entire career (except for one short year which you will hear about in this episode). He shares how that background has uniquely prepared him for his current role at Hillsdale along with a few exciting ways the people at Hillsdale UB are engaging their peers and co-workers for the sake of the Gospel.

Key Topics

• Josh's United Brethren roots
• Developing young leaders
• Surrounding yourself with great teammates (staff, volunteers)
• Relational discipleship
