Bert Adema: On Gifts, Gardens, and Good Samaritans

In this episode we speak with Bert Adema, Executive Director of Indigenous Christian Fellowship in Regina, Saskatchewan. Bert shares about 32 years of ministry, fostering a vibrant community by addressing spiritual and social needs. He emphasizes an incarnational approach, tackling the "messiness" of the world and advocating for right relations, not just reconciliation. Bert also reflects on finding hope and abundance amidst scarcity, powered by prayer, community, and trusting God's provision.

"If you're sitting there and you have no hope at all, you're really, really in a difficult situation. I think prayer is really, really important. And then when we pray in community... we say, 'What can we do together?'"
