Episode 1: Coming Home with Rich Villodas: Deep Formation, Diversity & Belonging
In this inaugural episode of The Coming Home Podcast by Gordon College, host Dr. Nathaniel Perez welcomes Rich Villodas, pastor of New Life Fellowship in Queens and author of The Deeply Formed Life and The Narrow Path. Together, they explore the deeper meaning of “coming home”—not just as a physical space, but as a return to the heart of God. Rich reflects on spiritual formation, abiding in God, the power of community, and how diversity and reconciliation are essential aspects of Christian faith.
