From the content of the issue: * "I am attracted to problematic situations" - interview with Pavel Plchot Preacher, during whose ministry a congregation of 30 members became a congregation of 100. Of course, he was also a preacher who had struggled with depression for years, and was struggling with how not to make people feel depressed when he preached. Husband and father of three children, although in his youth he considered celibacy. And also the leader of the "Czechia, it's a new day" movement. Pavel Plchot is full of paradoxes. An enthusiast for Christ, and at the same time a man of sober and practical nature. * theme: The Church as a baton The Lord is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God of generations passing the baton across history. How do we give space in the church to the younger ones and enrich each other? How to make disciples?
