Bonus: Steve Simms and the Joy of Early Christianity

In this bonus episode, we catch up with Steve Simms, an author, pastor, and previous guest on Halfway There. Steve’s heart for relationship with Jesus will inspire you to walk a little more closely to him, too. Steve writes books and in this conversation, we talk about his last two books, one about a Christian response to racism, and the other about returning to early Christianity. I think you’ll be inspired by Steve’s heart and words.

Great quotes from Steve:

Church hurt, hurts.

When people are allowed to have a role in Sunday morning, they grow so much faster.

I want to live what they did in the book of Acts.

You can grow as fast as you seek him.
