Rich Villodas

Rich Villodas was raised up under the ministry of Pete Scazzero (author of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and other books in that same theme), and succeeded him as the lead pastor of New Life Fellowship, a large multiracial church with more than seventy-five countries represented in Elmhurst, Queens. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Rich is uniquely gifted to lead this urban and diverse community of faith. His book, The Deeply Formed Life, leads us into the spiritual practices that help us live out some of the most controversial issues facing our culture. We talked to Rich about his book, about holy rhythms, and about what it means to lead in a controversial time.
