In this episode, I got the chance to talk to Derek and Michelle Loperfido about the church they Pastor, which happens to be the church I grew up in. Derek and Michelle took over Lighthouse Community Fellowship in 2015 from Chris and Carol Ball. Now name Freedom Life Church we had discussions on what that transition looked like for them and what God has done since.
