David Gainey has served as the founding and lead pastor of Oasis at Rita Ranch since 1997. He and his wife, Hope, have five children. The mission of Oasis is to care for broken people so they can learn to care for others through Jesus Christ.

In this episode of the JCM Podcast, Pastor Gainey joins Pastor Cepin to begin a multi-episode conversation on parenting. They start with a foundational question: What are we actually trying to accomplish as parents?

Together, they talk about the goals that shape the way we raise our children, how our vision of discipleship influences parenting, and why clarity about the end goal changes the choices we make along the way.

Developing communities of grace that care for the souls of others.

Journey Companions exists to help develop communities of grace that care for the souls of others, which results in spiritual deepening led by the Holy Spirit.

The evidence of this is men and women who are being transformed and are intent on building missional communities that reflect Christ’s love to lost people. (Acts 2:42)

We see ourselves as companions along the journey toward transformational, missional communities and deeper, more personal individual relationships with Jesus.

We come alongside people in existing relationships, whether churches or community groups, leadership teams or families, to offer training in Soul Care and doing the “one anothering” of the Bible. We as a team have tasted what it means to be in authentic, gospel rich community, and we want to share that taste with others.
