The Journey of Living Things (Guest Speaker: Justin Gentry)
Justin spent over a decade in ministry in many different places before making the decision to transition careers. Unbeknownst to him this started a faith deconstruction that didn't end where he planned but he learned that's part of the fun. Now, in addition to project management, he produces multiple podcasts, speaks on occasion, and writes not enough. He splits time between Camas and Columbus Ohio and is redefining family with his partner Meghan and their 5 children, 2 cats, and many frequent flyer miles.
