Regina is back to share her story of wrestling with antiquated ministry models that are limited to what can be done inside of a building. Brian and Ryan respond to her story and share little tidbits of what they think it takes to shift to a Guerrilla Ministry model founded on subversive presence. 

Book Recommendation: Canoeing the Mountains

Our schedule is changing. We will be releasing episodes every other Sunday starting this week! 

We have used the word reject in past episodes, so we thought it pertinent to outline what it was we are specifically rejecting. Join us as we continue on this journey of being Guerrilla Pastors seeking to minister through subversive presence.

On this episode, Ryan, Josiah and Brian discuss the term vocation and what it means for pastoral ministry at large. We also hear from a new pastor named Regina who breaks the "one-size-fits-all" in every possible way. Additionally, stats on age of clergy and ethnic make-up are discussed as well. Those studies can be found here and here. Thank you for listening to the Guerrilla Pastor's Podcast!

What do you think of when you imagine a Pastor? What is their primary job? If there is a stereotype for pastoring, we don't seem to fit into it. Join us as we discuss the benefits of having more diversity in the ministries offered within the church!

On this episode we take a hard look at the things the we are known for. The labels "Christian" and "Evangelical" come fully loaded with definitions we explore. Our hope is that we would be known for having a Benevolent Orthodoxy founded on the person of Jesus instead of all the things evangelicals are said to be known for in studies like this:

Ryan, Josiah and Brian all hail from the great Pacific Northwest. As Pastors, they have had to learn how to adapt to a culture that is post-christian. As a result, their ministry approaches are considered quite unconventional. Listen as they share some of what that looks like as well as why they might give themselves the title of Guerrilla Pastors.
