This conversation feels like a heart-to-heart you didn’t know you needed. Lindsey and I talk about what it’s really like to be an itinerant clergywoman with little ones at home — the bittersweetness of leaving one congregation and embracing another, and how we keep every church community close to our hearts. We dig into embracing the leaders God uniquely made us to be, lifting up the next generation of women in ministry, and finding inspiration from women leaders who came before us. Lindsey also shares how her kids keep her grounded and fired up when defending her call feels heavy. And trust me—you’ll love her take on why unity is best described… as a tossed salad!

Grab your coffee and join us — you’ll leave feeling seen, strengthened, and inspired.

What does it look like to be the Church… without a building?

In today’s powerful episode, we sit down with Rev. Chris, pastor of the innovative and deeply relational ministry known as Church on the Street. No two days in her ministry look the same—and that’s exactly the beauty of it.

Rev. Chris shares the courageous story of how she left a beloved congregation to step into an unknown, Spirit-led call to serve those often overlooked. She talks about the realities of leading a ministry rooted in presence, compassion, and justice, and the sacredness she finds in the messiness of it all.

We also explore what sustains her—especially how travel, both the anticipation and the journey itself, renews her soul amid the heaviness of the work.

At the heart of it all, Rev. Chris offers a gentle, grounding reminder: we are all beloved children of God, uniquely called to serve in the ways we were created.

This one’s full of wisdom, heart, and holy challenge—you won’t want to miss it!
