In today’s episode, Jonathan sits down with Matt Perry, who is planting Love Church in San Diego. Matt talks about what it means to carry a deep burden to plant a church, especially in a transient city where people come and go and nothing feels stable. This conversation isn’t about strategy or systems, but about weight: the kind of burden for a city that keeps you faithful when it would be easier to walk away, and why church planting must be born out of conviction, not opportunity.
