In this episode, Rob Schellert is joined by Saša Jacobea for a conversation about gathering the spiritually curious together. Saša shares her journey as a church pioneer and the story behind Nekostei — a monthly experimental church whose name translates roughly as “non-church” or “no church.” We talk about how Nekostei creates a space for people who might not feel at home in traditional church structures, the joys and challenges of starting something new, and the beauty of walking alongside seekers exploring faith in fresh and authentic ways.

About Saša:
Saša Jacobea (born 1985) is a pastor in the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, currently based in Prague. Since autumn 2021 she has been a key member of the team behind Nekostel — a monthly, experimental “non‑church” (“no‑church”) gathering aimed at spiritual seekers and people who may feel disconnected from traditional church settings. The project describes itself as a kind of “spiritual restaurant” — a place of restoration for the inner life, with live music, informal conversation and a relaxed atmosphere.
Before moving to Prague, Saša served for around ten years in Brno. She studied theology (including a year in Geneva) and has shown a strong commitment to innovative ministry formats and bridge‑building between church and secular life.
Outside of ministry, she loves good coffee and long walks with her dog.
