Luke Lezon’s ministry path hasn’t followed a straight line. Fresh out of college, he received several unique preaching opportunities – only to watch them quickly disappear. Later, in the wake of a painful church split in Orlando, Luke was thrust into the lead pastor role at just twenty-nine years old. This week, he joins Nate Dewberry to talk candidly about seasons that tested his faith and leadership, and the lessons God used to shape him through it: learning humility, balancing work and family, and finding a renewed willingness to understand and forgive others.
