What do you get when a butcher, an Australian, and a pastor walk into a room? JON TYSON. Author, leader, visionary, and pastor, Jon Tyson, is one of those important voices we should be paying attention to. We talk about his new book, The Intentional Father, the Dangerous Kids club, and the unique challenges and opportunities facing Gen Z. Write fast and listen hard. This is one of those episodes you’ll want to take notes on.

Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Jon moved to the States with a passion to seek and cultivate renewal in the Western Church. He is the Lead Pastor at Church of the City New York. He’s written books you’re familiar with, like A Creative Minority, The Burden is Light, Beautiful Resistance.
