From Ghost Town to City of God

Discover how Dr. Beattie and his small church of just 50 people became catalysts for one of the most remarkable stories of city transformation in modern times.

In this powerful episode of The Kingdom Reformation Show, host Glenn Bleakney sits down with Dr. Brian Beattie, visionary leader, author, and founder of Freedom House in Brantford, Ontario, Canada — once called “the worst downtown in Canada.”

Discover how Dr. Beattie and his small church of just 50 people became catalysts for one of the most remarkable stories of city transformation in modern times. Through acts of kindness, community engagement, and collaboration with civic leaders, they helped turn a declining, broken city into what’s now known as The City of God.

Brian Beattie shares insights from decades of ministry and civic involvement — including the Kindness Project, Captain Kindness, and the city’s annual Frosty Fest — and how these simple, kingdom-inspired actions led to economic renewal, social change, and spiritual awakening.
