    Imagine leading a church in the midst of a devastating wildfire, grappling with the emotionally charged process of staff layoffs, and battling the financial and logistical challenges of a pandemic. That's the reality that our guest, Pastor Jim Sheldon of Mission Church in Ventura, California, navigated with courage, humility, and a steadfast faith. Join us as Pastor Jim shares his extraordinary journey, the highs and the lows, from his career switch from a loan officer to pastor, to his leadership during the Thomas Fires of 2017, where Mission Church transformed into a hub for disaster relief efforts. When disaster strikes, how do you connect those yearning to help with those desperately needing it? Pastor Jim gives us an inside look into this process, revealing how Mission Church morphed from a shelter into a distribution center in the blink of an eye.
