In this weeks episode will be talking about a more beautiful Pentecostalism with Jonathan Martin. Some people have had a complicated relationship with Pentecostalism, and yet, on the far side of these Pentecostal experiences the question is: is there a Pentecostalism that’s healthy & beautiful?
Jonathan Martin is the author of two critically acclaimed books, Prototype and How to Survive a Shipwreck, with a third book on the way. He has a podcast called The Zeitcast, where he has interviewed a wide variety of guests. Jonathan’s work and words have been featured in places like the New York Times, The Atlantic, NPR, Newsweek, Vox, Sojourners, The Huffington Post, and Relevant Magazine, and he has published in scholarly journals, like The Journal of Pentecostal Theology. Currently, he lives in Oklahoma City, where he serves as the Lead Pastor of The Table. Finding God at the intersections, He moves fluidly between secular and religious contexts, between the academy and the Church, and between local churches with pipe organs, B-3 organs, and electric guitars. Wherever he goes- whether it be at church’s like Elevation Church, Willow Creek Community Church, or universities like Princeton Theological Seminary- the message is always the same: no matter who you are, where you’ve been, or what you’ve done—God is at work, to bring beauty out of your brokenness.
