Loren, Luke, and Neil are upperclassmen in our ministry who've known our church since we were a much smaller congregation in Hyde Park. What are their initial reactions to and questions about our move to downtown now that they've experienced it?

In this episode of dPod, Neil, Loren, and Luke share their experiences from the Servant Leadership Training (SLT) program offered by the Acts2 Network. They discuss the the highs and lows of the SLT experience and their lessons learned.

Two episodes in one day?!

We've run 8 Sunday services and completed 6 weeks of outreach in "The Loop" (aka Downtown Chicago). Join the "Loop Pod" as we talk about what we're thankful for, what we're learning, and what we're hoping for as we look to the future of our ministry!

So what's going on with dPod? Is this podcast dead? Where's DP been? Eden, Gisselle, Hyuna and DP attempt to bring dPod back to life!

In this follow-up to Ep.16 The Dating Episode, Tof, Percy, Agape, and I reflect on marriage. We discuss surprises of married life, biblical principles that guide us, and how our spouses have helped us to grow. We talk about advice we'd give our younger selves, the joys of marriage, and talk also about how marriage has helped us to become more Christ-like. We're no marriage experts, but we can share with you our honest perspectives!

I'm joined by Temi, Tiffany, and Eden, and we recount our mission trip to the Dominican Republic with Filter of Hope. We discuss memorable people, standout conversations, personal takeaways, and why everyone should go on a mission trip!

In this episode, I talk with Tof, Genji, and Hyuna about Project Loop, aimed at expanding Voyage's ministry to college students in the Chicagoland area. We discuss our first downtown service, the strategic reasons behind targeting new campuses, and the challenges of initiating outreach in a new location. We also delve into overcoming awkwardness in evangelism and engaging in spiritual conversations. Finally, we reflect on the journey of building the Chicago church and our excitement of seeing students embrace the mission.

Continuing our Alum series with Matthew, who's a UChicago grad ('23) and is now a member of the Acts2 Network. We discuss his experience of growing up in the church and how that formed him, some of the formative events from his college years, and how postgrad life has been treating him!
