    On this month's podcast, we chat with Duncan about the practices he employs to remain centred in Jesus when the demands of ministry and life seem all-consuming.

    At Our Pilgrimage, we believe the greatest need in the Church of our day is leaders who are committed to the pursuit of Christlikeness above everything else. We believe there is a better way to lead that is more joy-filled than many of us experience in leadership.

    Our mission is to create an environment where a leader can journey towards a joy-filled life with others for the good of their soul.
