The Power of Taking Risks on People | Pastor Doug Bunnell

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Doug Bunnell, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Bellingham, WA to discuss the power of taking risks on people and the profound impact it can have. He reflects on his early involvement in Collide, when he took a leap of faith and gave Willow a "yes" to try an experiment—an experiment that has since blossomed into the transformative Collide ministry. His decision to take a chance on something uncertain paved the way for the lives Collide has touched and the community it has built. We also talk about: Doug’s journey as a pastor and how his family's story shaped his ministry How saying "yes" to Collide was a leap of faith that has inspired countless others The importance of taking risks on people and stepping into uncertainty How God’s work can unfold in unexpected ways through simple acts of trust If you've ever been hesitant to take a chance on someone or something, this episode will inspire you to trust in the possibilities and see how God can work through your "yes."
