Ian sits down with Aaron Reyes, a pastor and church planter from Texas now serving in Birmingham, to hear his journey from El Paso to gospel ministry in the UK. Aaron reflects on growing up in a Latino, working-class context, coming to faith as a young American football player, and being called to serve among working-class, multi-ethnic communities. Together, Ian and Aaron explore class, culture, ethnicity, fatherlessness, church planting, and how the gospel creates a new family that unites people across deep social and political divides. A rich and honest conversation about ministry, identity, and building churches centred on Christ among the overlooked and underserved.You can visit the website of the church that Aaron pastors by following the link below:https://charltonroadchurch.org.uk/
