Welcome back to our fourth episode of this season of Transforming Culture - we're glad you're here! This is our first time with a returning guest, and we couldn't be more pleased that it's Stephen Bray, from Mile One Mission. Steve is a generous, gentle but oh-so-funny guy, and uses his disarming personality to draw you into beautiful conversations. This week, we're talking about Friendship and the Church, which is not a topic I would have thought was on the list for this year, but as you can hear, Steve knocked it out of the park. Enjoy!

What is Transforming Culture?
The world is rapidly changing. Every time we blink, it seems there’s a new cultural rule that we all have to follow. It can feel like waves crashing on us: we want to love others well, but also lead them to Jesus truthfully. Join us for Transforming Culture, where we take a deeper dive into how Christianity and the Bible interact with society and culture. These podcast episodes are based on sessions taught live at Muskoka Bible Centre as a part of our summer ministry programming.
MBC's mission is to grow resilient, biblically rooted families to the glory of God. We provide experiences where guests are renewed in their faith journey with Jesus Christ, connected to others in meaningful relationship and equipped to be the hands and feet of God in their communities.
