If you’ve ever thought, “There’s got to be more than this,” this episode is for you.

What if church wasn’t built around programs… but people?

In Ep. 89 of Stacking Chairs, Ander Chen from the Acts 2 Network joins Josh and Kyle to talk about life-on-life discipleship, reaching college students, and what happens when ministry is less about performance—and more about faithfulness.

No big platform. No trendy model. Just believers doing life together and raising up kingdom workers.
