Can We Move Up Without Leaving Others Behind?
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
