Rural Renewal Podcast by Fresh Expressions

In this episode, we hear from Jon in Florida and Greg in Virginia—two rural leaders using Dinner Church to reach their communities in powerful ways.

Jon shares how a simple outdoor meal in a town of 700 became a bridge across division. Greg describes how his church now gathers at fairgrounds and homes, empowers lay leaders, and even partners globally—all through the table.

From refugee connections to special needs ministries, these stories show how sharing food and faith can transform a community.
