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
