God is at work throughout our communities and in the lives of all people. In my work as a pastor and pioneer of new things, I get to work with, coach, and learn from others, tilling soil, planting seeds and praying for rain as we dig in and engage our communities for the mission of God. Finding Common Ground moves us to be present in the places where space might be cultivated for connection and relationship that becomes rooted in the Christian community. Join me as we share stories from the field in the Common Ground Podcast.

Jacob Burson tells the stories of his various roles within the Methodist Church as a lay person and how God has led him to be serving as a bivocational local pastor, now embracing the fresh expressions movement. His context and the Holy Spirit have led him to start a food pantry in collaboration with other churches and organizations in the community as well as to start a dinner church. Jacob is more and more convinced that when you bring people together around food, relationships are formed and community is built that is modeled after Jesus’s example and has a depth we can’t measure.
