Asking Better Questions with Rev. Dr. Mark Lewis

What does faithful ministry look like in the middle of an opioid, housing, and poverty crisis? In our conversation with Rev. Dr. Mark Lewis, we hear the remarkable story of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Hamilton—a congregation that expected to close but instead chose radical hospitality. Mark shares how the church opened its doors to a safe injection site, partnered with community agencies, faced daily heartbreak, and rediscovered its mission through compassion. He reflects honestly on fear, resilience, burnout, and the surprising ways God reshapes a church when it asks, Who needs our help, and how can we use what we have for good?
