Welcome to the Evergreen Church Life Podcast. The Bible tells us in the book of Philippians that we, as believers, need to be unified in our mission to know God, share life, and change the world. We have a lot going on at Evergreen Church, and we want to help cultivate that culture of unity. The strategy of this podcast is simple, we sit down with ministry leaders here in our church and talk about how God is working around them. The discussion is based on our church's calling and context in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but we pray it is fruitful for you too in your own local church context.
