Episode 114: The Digital Church with Jim Keat

October 04, 2022 01:52 - 54 minutes - 74.9 MB

In the wake of the 2020 COVID pandemic, churches were forced into the digital frontier whether they liked it or not. But now what? In this episode, I talk to Rev. Jim Keat the Digit al Minister at Riverside Church in New York City about the importance of reaching out to those people living across town and across the country who might want to worship with your congregation.

Episode 113: The Rise of Deacons with Nina Joygaard

September 26, 2022 03:52 - 1 hour - 118 MB

In Methodist, Episcopal and Lutheran traditions the deacon is a specific ministry in the church. Their ministry is different than pastors, focused more on acts of service whereas pastors are focused more on preaching and the sacraments. The word deacon comes from the Greek word diakonos which means “service.” This understanding of the role of a deacon which adheres more to the original understanding found in the book of Acts and in the early church is not always easily understood by people ...

Episode 112: Sabbath-Keeping for Congregations with Kara Root

September 12, 2022 04:18 - 1 hour - 142 MB

So the church where I serve is starting an experiment. For the next year, we will be taking sabbath. We won’t be doing some the regular things we used to do and we are focusing on our spiritual walk and then on walk together as a congregation and finally in the spring we focus on the world outside the church. The point of this is to stop, slow down and think about who we are as a congregation moving forward. Today, I chat with Kara Root, the pastor of Lake Nokomis Presbyterian Church in M...

Episode 111: Part Time Clergy Is Plenty with Jeffrey MacDonald

September 06, 2022 02:35 - 1 hour - 124 MB

Mainline Protestant churches and denominational bodies don’t know how to handle part-time clergy. The standard has been clergy working full time. But has that always been the standard? (The short answer is no.) What happens when churches can’t afford a full-time clergy? Does that mean the church is no longer viable? Mainline denominations assume that all calls to ministry should be full time and if a pastor is working part-time, this is because the congregation is on the downward slope t...

Episode 110: The Church After COVID with Sean Chow

August 19, 2022 03:50 - 54 minutes - 99.3 MB

We all know what happened in March of 2020. COVID began to shut society down. We canceled the event and in fact we didn’t meet in person for 14 months. When we started worshipping in person again, things were different. People who were part of the community, moved on. Others watched mostly online. There were still things we couldn’t do. Even some of what we used to do became different. COVID changed the church where I served and nothing will ever be the same. But this wasn’t just the ...

Episode 109: Social Entrepreneurship and Bi-vocational Ministry with Loren RichmondJr.

August 01, 2022 03:31 - 58 minutes - 107 MB

As churches become unable to fund full-time ministry mainline denominations are starting to notice and have begun offering ideas in how to pastors can find outside work. One idea is taking part in social entrepreneurship. What is social entrepreneurship? One way it’s been defined is from the Faith and Leadership website from Duke Seminary . They define it as “the process of pursuing innovative solutions to social problems. For Christian leaders, this blending of a business model with Chris...

Episode 108: The Chaplaincy Is Not Your Backup Plan with Jeremy Wilhelmi

July 25, 2022 03:54 - 45 minutes - 82.8 MB

One of my biggest regrets is not accepting a call to become the college chaplain at a Lutheran college in the Midwest. The college in Illinois was really interested in them, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted the position or not. After a while, the college went with someone else. Being a college chaplain has to be the coolest job ever, according to Paul Raushenbush. “I spent eight glorious years at Princeton University as associate dean of religious life and the chapel,” he writes in a 2015 e...

Episode 99: Letters to a New Pastor with Ben Gosden

June 15, 2022 14:44 - 1 hour - 126 MB

"They didn't teach that in seminary." That's the phrase you will hear a pastor say sometimes as they encounter an unexpected situation. But the education of a minister doesn't end when they get their Masters of Divinity degree. Indeed, it is a lifelong education that can last decades. Methodist pastor Ben Gosden began writing a series of articles on his blog to new pastors, sharing some of the knowledge he's learned in over a decade of ministry. Ben is the Lead Pastor of Trinity United ...

June 01, 2022 03:25 - 1 hour - 117 MB

Today, we are going to talk about liberalism. That doesn’t mean we are talking about the Democratic party. No, instead we are talking about what has been called “classical liberalism,” which today’s guest describes as “the notion of universal human dignity.” David Watson joins the show today to talk about classical liberalism in the life of the church and the rise of postmodern liberalism, how it is different from classical liberalism and how it can influence the church.

Episode 92: Being United Methodist In a Time of Schism

May 16, 2022 03:47 - 1 hour - 119 MB

On May 1, a new denomination launched. The Global Methodist Church started, splitting off from the United Methodist Church. The split was the result of years if not decades of fighting over the issue of homosexuality. For this episode, I look at this from the standpoint of a United Methodist pastor on the ground as events happened. I decided to chat with the Reverend Joe Tognetti. Joe has been the pastor of First United Methodist Church in Rio City, Texas and will soon be the pastor of ...

Episode 91: Abortion: What Does the Lord Require with Frederick Schmidt

May 11, 2022 14:54 - 31 minutes - 57.8 MB

In 1973 the Supreme Court voted 7-2 in favor of abortion rights nationwide. This began a nearly 50-year battle on the issue of abortion rights. Last week, a someone leak a draft opinion written in February that appeared to overturn Roe v. Wade. This would send the issue of abortion to the states where a number of states are already crafting legislation that would either radically expand abortion rights, or dramatically restrict abortion. Where does the church stand in the midst of this? I...

Episode 90: The "Opposite Problem" in Mainline Protestantism with Frederick Schmidt

May 11, 2022 14:29 - 57 minutes - 106 MB

The General Convention of the Episcopal Church will consider an important proposal this summer. The measure proposed by the Diocese of Northern California would repeal canon law that requires those who receive communion must be baptized. “We believe that all the people are God’s people, so it’s not just the gifts of God for just baptized people,” said Martin Heatlie, speaking in favor of the resolution. Hospitality and inclusion are the values that are pushing the resolution. Those are two...

Episode 89: Is There Hope for Liberal Christianity with Geoff Mitchell (Rewind)

May 09, 2022 03:12 - 43 minutes - 80.2 MB

This interview originally aired in July 2021. In the 1950s, Mainline Protestants were the largest group of Protestants in the United States. Since then, the churches have seen a decline and their footprint in American culture has shrunk. Some people think this tradition is doomed and will die in a few decades. We talked to Geoff Mitchell, Senior Pastor of Lindenwood Christian Church in Memphis, TN and ask, is that really the story? Is the Mainline tradition worth saving? What caused th...

Dennis then talks about a proposal to be taken up at the General Conve...

Episode 87: What Is Pietism with Christopher Gehrz

April 25, 2022 01:17 - 54 minutes - 99.1 MB

What comes to mind when I use the word piety or pious? I’m guessing you are thinking of a person who is outwardly religious and believes they are better than anyone else around them. For people of a certain age it might be Dana Carvey’s Church Lady. But instead of thinking of a smirking and prim guy wearing a dress and a wig, you might want to think of John Wesley, the founder of what became Methodism and had an experience at a church in London where his heart was strangely warmed. Today...

Episode 86: Preaching in a Post-Trust Age with Brian Christopher Coulter

April 23, 2022 03:12 - 47 minutes - 86.3 MB

Methodist Bishop and writer, Will Willomon has this to say about preaching. “Preaching is an attack - it is an invasion from Jesus into an unbelieving world.” Willomon is right that preaching is about an invading Jesus into an unbelieving world, but how do you do that in an age where people don’t trust institutions like the church? For Pastor Brian Christopher Coulter, preaching means restoring trust. Brian is the pastor of First Presbyterian in Ft. Worth. He’s a Minister of Word and Sa...

Episode 84: Just War Theory with H. David Baer

April 04, 2022 03:24 - 1 hour - 111 MB

Episode 83: Mainline Church Planting

March 28, 2022 02:25 - 43 minutes - 79.4 MB

On Easter Sunday a congregation in south Minneapolis will hold its last worship service after 105 years. This closing has a lot of meaning for me because it was the church that I interned at when I was in seminary. Mainline Protestant churches seem to be closing at a faster clip than their evangelical counterparts. Can more progressive faith traditions still plant churches? Today I talk to Paul Moore, the pastor of Chain of Lakes Presbyterian Church in Blaine, Minnesota. Working through ...

We are coming up to the 2 year mark since COVID became a daily part of our lives. With little fanfare, America passed 900,000 lives lost to the virus. After two very long years, everyone is tired. We are tried of wearing masks, we are tired of events canceled, we are tired of the culture war- we are just tired.

If you’re like me, the pastor of a small, declining congregation or a member in such a congregation, no doubt you’ve heard this phrase or some form of it from a member leaving the congregation or a denominational official. Your congregation doesn’t have enough people to survive, so its best that you end the visible ministry of the congregation. But is that the whole story? Is viability based on how many butts are in the pews? How many people do you need to to have a church, anyway. Tracy...

Some of your favorite stores might have been owned by a hedge fund or private equity firm. Some of these stores still exist, but some don’t.

I came to terms with my sexuality about 30 years ago when I was in my twenties. Because I was a Christian, I wanted to understand what it meant to be gay from a biblical perspective. One of the most formative books I read was Is the Homosexual My Neighbor by Virigina Ramey Mollenkott and Letha Dawson Scanzoni. It provided a theological understanding of being gay and it helped me understand that God accepted who I was as a gay man. That led me to ultimately find a good man that became my h...
