What does ministry look like in one of America's most de-churched regions? This conversation explores the realities of leading in Silicon Valley, where traditional assumptions about secular culture often miss the mark.

Mandy Santos, Spiritual Formation Pastor at Echo Church, shares honest reflections on ministry in the Bay Area:

• Why secular communities may be more receptive than expected

• Navigating major leadership transitions while maintaining momentum

• Building environments where skeptics can ask genuine questions

• The shift from attractional models to formation-focused ministry

• Rethinking first steps in discipleship and spiritual practices

Whether you're leading in a post-Christian context or want to create more intentional space for spiritual formation in your church, this conversation offers practical insights on balancing accessibility with depth.
