Welcome back to Season 4, with our brand new podcast title, COMPOSING CHURCH. Thank you for joining us on this journey together. Today's episode dives into the topic of Liturgy - what it is, how every space in fact has one, and how it forms us. I am joined by Aaron Niequist - author of The Eternal Current: How a Practice-Based Faith Can Save Us from Drowning, and founder/curator of Pastors, Priests and Guides- an ecumenical organization that hosts retreats for anyone in the Christian stream within a director, guide, or leadership role.

In my book, ⁠⁠Composing Church: Considerations for the Modern Creative Leader⁠⁠, we explore the topic of Liturgies and Formulas, and I am so grateful Aaron joined for an intentional conversation here.

Welcome back to Season 4, with our brand new podcast title, COMPOSING CHURCH. Thank you for joining us on this journey together. Today's episode dives into the question: on our teams, does the outside matter more than the inside? In my book, ⁠Composing Church: Considerations for the Modern Creative Leader⁠, I share a story about the wrestle with the ratio of how much we were focused on the outward formation versus the inward. Is there an invitation for us to consider adjusting that ratio in our current contexts? Food for thought.

Today's episode is dives into three temptations that ministry leaders face today, brought to us from Henri Nouwen in In the Name of Jesus.

Welcome back to Season 3 of Darling! Thank you for joining us on this journey together. Today's episode is about the outcomes that can occur when either WE fall in love with the idea of a church, person, job, fill-in-the-blank, or SOMEONE falls in love with the idea of you. But it's an idea, not the true you. We have enough data points about the person, place or job, and then negligently fill in the rest of the dots on our own. This can be really troublesome when hiring someone on your team, or saying yes to a relationship or position!

We're calling this one, The Idea of You.

Welcome back to Season 3 of Darling! Thank you for joining us on this journey together. Today's episode is about this sneaky little tendency to hide out in the green room and not engage the rest of the service or congregation. We're calling this one, The Green Room Creep. Not a person, but an action.

Welcome back to Season 3 of Darling! Thank you for joining us on this journey together. Today's episode is about times when we avoid hard conversations, and how it better serves everyone to simply make it weird, lean into the tension and address the matter from the start.
