- 08 // the stamford branch is closing
What does the Stamford branch of Dunder Mifflin have to do with the future of the church? We often settle into a groove, a rhythm, a routine of how things ought to be done. This becomes detrimental to the future when we assume it has to stay that way. How do we get out of the groundhogs day rhythm and get a vision for what could be?

Let it pour over your soul like hot water over fresh ground coffee. Okay... that's a little weird. In this episode we talk about graduating from nasty coffee to craft coffee, and how transitions, though often un-welcome, are necessary to bring us into the future.Follow @futurechurchpod on instagram and twitter.Find us online at futureof.church58 min
- 06 // righteous invasion of truth [R.I.O.T.]In our sixth episode, Taylor and Ashish celebrate the life and work of the one-and-only CARMAN, whose music defined Christian music in the late 80s and 90s. We also take time to delve into tribalism and explore how important it is to celebrate difference and relate with a kingdom-mindset when engaging with others from different Christian traditions / tribes. What does it mean to "listen to your bishop"?Follow @futurechurchpod on instagram and twitter / Find us online at https://futureof.church37 min
- 05 // justice and the local church (BONUS EPISODE)
In this BONUS EPISODE, we have friend of the pod Joash Thomas join us to talk about biblical justice and the local church. Joash leads International Justice Mission’s Advocacy & Mobilization efforts in the US Southeast region. He brings a unique and helpful perspective on how churches can start thinking about and acting toward justice, both locally and globally. He is passionate about seeing the church live out its prophetic call to bring biblical justice to the world through the church. We think this is an important conversation, in light of Black History Month and the larger conversation the North American church needs to have around justice.

We're back with our 4th episode. In many ways, this last year flipped feedback upside-down. The mechanisms we rely on to give us a pulse of reality have largely been quenched, while the feedback we're not used to having regularly is in front of our faces constantly with social media and the gig economy. This upside-down feedback isn't all bad... it's actually an invitation from God to rest.

It's episode three! Ashish & Taylor talk about how important it is for pastors & leaders to embrace growth mindsets as they look to the future. A static mindset can keep you stuck, inflexible, and unprepared for what's next. Is it possible to have 'outside the box thinking' without 'crushing the box'?

50 min - 02 // soil & soul
It’s easy to celebrate productivity or ‘fruitfulness’ or ‘busyness’, while ignoring the overall health of our souls, our teams, and our ministries. In this second episode, Ashish and Taylor explore how important it is to allow for seasons to slow down, pause, and ’decommission the garden’ of our lives.

50 min - 01 // rocketships & russia
Welcome to our first official episode! In this episode, Ashish & Taylor explore the big idea of ‘reasoning by first principle’ instead of ‘reasoning by analogy.’ We talk about how churches need to think more clearly about their ‘why’ before they lean into a ‘what.’
