Made in Canada: Stories of homegrown faithfulness, creativity and hope
Thursdays, May 1, 8, 15, 22 & 29, 2025
1:30 pm ET - online
Since the beginning, New Leaf has advocated for and valued unapologetic Canadian Christian conversations with people from diverse backgrounds, traditions, and locations to help us discern the on-the-ground issues and opportunities facing Canadian church leaders. It seems no better time to celebrate "made in Canada" creativity and faithfulness in Christian ministry.
Across the country, pastors, neighbourhood catalysts, and local practitioners are responding to unique challenges and opportunities with fresh ideas and hopeful action. From coast to coast, these "made in Canada" stories are inspiring, practical, and deeply rooted in place.
Join us each week as we highlight pastors, practitioners and leaders who are reimagining ministry, leadership, and resources in beautiful, courageous, and uniquely Canadian ways. Be encouraged, challenged and inspired. Hear the good news—close to home.
May 1 - Jay Mowchenko “Out of Bounds by Design: A Question-driven Coddiwomple”
7 years ago, Jay embarked on a journey, moving out from his lifelong career in pastoral leadership, seeking what he knew not. Today, this stepping into the unknown has turned into a full-blown coddiwomple – a journey with an unclear destination, but crystal clear intentions and driving questions. In this upcoming Learning Centre, join Jay as he shares his specific perspective on the deconstruction/reconstruction journey, the questions that drive him, and some of the surprising twists these questions have generated.
Jay Mowchenko is the founder of Shalom Leadership, sharing his 35 years of non-profit and academic leadership experience by coaching, training and teaching leaders and organizations to bring sustainable flourishing to every aspect of their life and work. He lives in Saskatoon on Treaty 6 Territory with his spouse, Marilou.
