About this episode
Greg Trumbach discusses his journey from being a Muslim to planting a Christian church and the challenges of running a church without institutional support.
Greg Trumbach has no denomination behind him. No institution. Just a small church in Slidell that started in his living room and never really stopped feeling like one. We talked about spiritual warfare, casting out demons, what it's like to run a church with no safety net, and why a former Muslim ended up planting a Christian church.
