In addition to an unintentional Righteous Brothers soundtrack, you'll hear Jan Edmiston's interview with a former FPC member whose story as part of our church is similar to many current members: Jon came to FPC as a young adult after college, he got married, and then Jon and his wife left the area after about two years of participation.

In our transient neighborhood, Jon and Sarah were two neighbors who passed through on their way to a more permanent home in the Midwest.

I share this because I sometimes assume that our church is unique in terms of what young adults/young families are searching for. But as you will hear, Jon's interests and experiences parallel many of ours:

- he has an interest in connecting with other faiths
- he is concerned about his young children's spiritual formation
- he is searching for community that sometimes begins in casual venues away from the church building.

As part of the Body of Christ, Jon clearly isn't leaving all leadership in these interests to his church staff.

Enjoy this conversation. It was great to run into him in Istanbul while he was on a business trip.
