The Current
We're seeking inspiration toward deeper discipleship through conversations with people working toward justice, cultivating deep spiritual practices, forming community and connection in significant ways, and helping one another heal from trauma. As we follow Christ to the margins of society, to the wounded and grieving, and into the hard work of peacemaking, we find that we are not alone on this journey. Join us to resist despair, and to regain some hope in the world, in the church, and in Christ.
Most weeks, Pastor Chris Nafis is talking with scholars and practitioners who are inspiring and faithful, and some weeks Pastor Chris is engaging with the book of Acts. Each week, we find the Spirit calling us deeper into the death and resurrection of Jesus, into a life with God, and into loving one another well.
This is a ministry of Living Water Church of the Nazarene, which gathers in San Diego's East Village, the epicenter of homelessness in this city. We are committed to meaningful worship, community formation, and service. Join us sometime :)

Monte Mansfield - Neighborhood Hope Dealer
Monte Mansfield is a former professional baseball player who found himself sliding into addiction and homelessness. When he finally realized that he needed to turn his life around, God was waiting through the Salvation Army. Monte shares his journey in sports, addiction, recovery, and now a call into ministry. He is full of joy and hope, an encourager at heart who loves Jesus and has given his life to his service. Husband of our beloved friend Laura Davis (to be featured on a future episode!), we hope that you'll find his testimony encouraging and edifying.
