We’re thrilled to share Peter Ong’s humorous yet poignant talk from the 2015 Rooted Conference in Chicago. In his plenary session, Peter delves into John 20:24-29, the disciple Thomas, cultivating a pathway for students to doubt, and leaning into a theology of failure (the gospel of grace). Peter Ong planted King’s Cross Church in Flushing, NY in 2012, finding his motivation for church planting to be the many young people he has discipled over the years.
