In this episode, hosts Kristian Hernandez and Jennifer Chan explore The New York Project—a 10-year collaborative strategy led by City to City and Redeemer Churches & Ministries, organizations founded by the late pastor and author Timothy Keller. The initiative aims to renew how the gospel is shared across New York City, by training leaders and helping churches flourish in every borough.

Kristian and Jen are joined by Mai Hariu-Powell, Executive Director of The New York Project, and James Herring, City to City board member and elder at Redeemer East Side. Together, they discuss the project’s beginnings, its impact on local communities, and the vision shaping the next decade of gospel work in the city.

Note: This conversation was recorded in 2024. While some updates have taken place since, the vision and passion behind this conversation continue to resonate.

Tune in to hear how God’s love continues to transform neighborhoods, heal lives, and unite communities across New York City.
