Chai Can’t Even usually focuses on young adults and why they stay in the church, but this time, host Blake Smith is sitting down with Tore Nilsen, whose grandfather was one of the first converts in Norway, and who is himself in his 80s. As a matter of fact, he was a young adult when his grandfather thought he was old enough to be baptized. Since then, he’s spent his years serving in various leadership roles in the church while the church changed… in a good way … around him. Listen in and be inspired by one who has stayed and still has great hope!

Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith as they journey with Jesus. Determine for yourself how you can walk that line between relationship and discipleship. When does the investment in relationship require a pause?
