Leading Compassionate Discipleship in Diverse Churches | Sweis Ubels
In today’s episode of The Healthy Christian Leader, Dwight Habermehl sits down with Pastor Sweis Ubels from Middleton, Nova Scotia. Sweis shares his experiences leading Emmanuel Church, a diverse and “Messy Church” community, where people from all walks of life—ranging in age, background, and abilities—come together. He discusses the challenges and joys of leading compassionate discipleship in a diverse setting, fostering authentic relationships, and encouraging meaningful engagement across the church. Through practical examples, from small group discipleship to community events like weddings and meal programs, Sweis demonstrates how faithfulness, love, and collaboration with other churches can transform lives and build a thriving, inclusive church community. This episode is a rich conversation about servant leadership, authenticity, and embracing God’s call in every circumstance.
