Ian Wildeboer - Can We Move Up Without Leaving Others Behind? | Ep 147

Ian Wildeboer is the pastor of Mercy Christian Church in Hamilton and a former missionary to Papua New Guinea.

His doctoral research explored the lives of missional church leaders serving in lower-income urban communities across Canada, examining what it means to follow the “downward way” of Christ.

 

In this episode, we discuss:

• What social mobility really means — upward vs. downward

• Can the pursuit of wealth and the call to serve the marginalized coexist?

• The tension between ambition, contentment, and faithfulness

• What it practically looks like to love and serve the poor
