In this episode, Dom and Sarah John, leaders of a thriving church in Cologne, Germany share their journey from studying theology in the UK to planting a church in Germany, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of building a church in a secular city. They discuss the importance of community, the innovative model of alternating between Sunday services and life groups, and the focus on discipling the younger generation.
