Show Notes

The Border Church is a beautiful and prophetic expression of border resistance as followers of Jesus in San Diego, California, join together at the border with Jesus-followers in Tijuana, Mexico--even sharing Communion through the border fence.

In this episode, I’m speaking with Seth Clark, Director of the Pastoral Team forThe Border Church.


THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

  • Seth Clark is the Lead Pastor at First Baptist Church of National City (in San Diego) and Director of the Pastoral Team on the U.S. side of The Border Church.
  • Seth shares his faith journey.  He grew up in the Plymouth Brethren tradition.
  • Numerous experiences helped Seth recognize that his view of the world was shaped by his particular lens.
  • Seth has been involved in The Border Church for about three years.
