About this listen

So often, we find ourselves sitting next to people in church—people with fascinating stories and incredible expertise—and yet we miss the chance to truly know them. What if we slowed down and took the time to hear how each of us spends our days, how we wrestle with life, and how God is working in our stories?

Join us as we journey into the lives of everyday folks from The Village Church here in Tucson, Arizona. These are people just like you, who are willing to open up and share their lives. Through honest conversations, we’ll tackle big ideas and practical ways to engage our communities, helping one another see what it looks like to live out our faith in tangible ways.

We’ll explore topics like race, disability, advocacy, and faith, inviting guests to share their unique perspectives and skills. Together, we’ll look for ways to use what we’ve been given to connect, serve, and ultimately bring healing to our city.

    May 7 2025

    In this episode of the Healing the City Podcast, Pastor Eric is joined by Mark and special guest Jessica Dennes—creator of Makers Camp—for a lively and heartfelt conversation. The three reflect on the upcoming week-long event held each June at The Village Church, a place where art supplies, cardboard creations, and storytelling collide in joyful chaos.

    Their voices carry a sense of anticipation as they revisit memorable moments from past camps. There’s laughter over what went sideways, and a quiet appreciation for the things that went unexpectedly right. They explore how Makers Camp continues to embody two of the Village’s core values: Creativity—the kind that welcomes both mess and magic—and Accessibility—a commitment to building spaces where everyone, regardless of background or ability, feels invited to participate.

    Whether you're a longtime Villager or simply curious about what happens when a community commits to imagination and inclusion, this episode offers a beautiful glimpse into something more than a summer camp—it’s a celebration of belonging.
