Summary
Dan Kimball is the author of several books on leadership, church, and culture. He was one of the founders of Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, California where he still serves on staff. He is also a faculty member at Western Seminary and leads the ReGeneration Project, which exists to equip and encourage new generations to think theologically and participate in the mission of the church. He has a master’s degree from Western Seminary and a doctorate degree from George Fox University.
In this conversation, we talk about pastoring in a super progressive city, why people are deconstructing at a seemingly higher rate than before, what unbelievers think of Christianity, the need for intellectually honest missional theology, and why loving our neighbors is so crucial to the gospel.

| 0:50.3 | to reach a younger, more skeptical, more progressive generation. Dan is just a great guy and |

| 1:53.2 | Yeah, I've got so many questions, and I know we're not going to get to them all, but thanks for |
| 1:56.6 | giving us an hour if you did. Yeah, well, greetings from Santa Cruz, California. It's not sunny out. |
