Why the UK Church Is Failing Its Poorest Neighbourhoods (And What to Do About It) | Mez McConnell

PART 1 here: https://youtu.be/g1NLoTuQoXI

A rough childhood spent in numerous foster homes led to drug addiction to crime to maximum security prison, but Mez McConnell’s extraordinary story shows that nobody is beyond hope. He’s been planting churches now for the last two decades in the toughest parts of Scotland and seeing long-term costly transformation. Get ready to be very challenged, inspired and stirred. What a listen!

We spoke for a further half an hour, with Mez bringing some real pearls of wisdom. Then we included the talk that Mez gave several years ago which absolutely blew me away! It's part of a series on 'Church in Hard Places'. This is the original recording: https://youtu.be/lVPCJbkQr-Q?si=ltzCCjVPAUS3vp7i
