The Bastard Pastor’s Podcast

I really thought we'd get back to doing this multiple times over the last year.  Then quarantine hit and I was SURE we'd start again.  Then Justin chopped his foot off, so obviously we'll have time.  But, it took until June and the new covid surge to get this party started! But we're back! The worst podcast in Christendom! 

Hanging out with our good friend Mandy, this morning, from University Christian Church in Cincy.  She has a cool idea for a festival we wanna talk about!

We're back.  And we still suck.  

Our friend Shawn, from Cincy Stories stops by to...tell stories.  Shawn's been involved in some cool stuff in the Cincy neighborhood of OTR, and runs in a lot of the same circles we run in.  

Today we talk with our friend Josh Broughton, from the Church Project in Lebanon (a northern suburb of Cincy).  We just decided to talk about everything.  

This morning, we're joined by our friend Josh from New City Presbyterian in Norwood.  Josh has been a good friend of ours since we started, pastoring in a pretty similary context that we are.  Today we talk about a little bit of everything, from communion to liturgy to spiritual development.  

This week, we're joined by our friend Jane Gerdsen, who works with the Anglican church in researching and developing new expressions and communities of worship - she has tons of insight on how churches are growing and shrinking and living and dying and has been a good friend to us for a long time.  

Our friend Tom swings by this morning to talk about life in general - from managing a huge dairy industry organization, to leading at a church, to busting people who are high at work, Tom's been through a ton of things, and we loved talking to him!

This morning we get to sit with Renee, pastor at the Cincinnati Mennonite Fellowship in Oakley.  She has been a great friend of ours, and someone we've really valued getting to work with in both issues relevant to Oakley and worship services, bringing together diverse communities.  

Join us for, maybe surprisingly, our most theological podcast to date - where we catch up with our friend Ali, who is about to be ordained through a reformed Jewish seminary, and discuss heaven, hell, and the nature of God's mission for us in the world.
