High Church Podcast

2023! We're back... and pausing simultaneously. The intro of this episode explains further but, for the foreseeable future, we'll be releasing future episodes less frequently but with greater attention to topics and guests that align with the podcast. We want to be as present and engaged as possible when creating conversations for you all to engage with. 

 

The plan is to take a podcast-pause to focus on other things for the time being. The podcast is still very much a labor of love. No big breakup, but with us both being in the phases of life we are (parents, partners, working on individual creative pursuits), the plan is to leave the show as-is, and pop in as often as we're able to.

 

We're both very grateful for the support and love thus far! Please continue to reach out while we slow things down. We love connecting with you all here, and are excited to present episode 53!
