Doug has a great conversation with a dear friend fresh off his sabbatical.  Cody has been in ministry for over 15 years and currently serves as a youth pastor in central PA.  He recently came off a really unique sabbatical adventure of hiking the Camino de Santiago.  We talk ministry, health, calling, and rest.  We hope you all have a great thanksgiving and enjoy time with family and friends.  Thanks for all that you do as pastors and leaders.

Doug and Bob chat with professor and author Drew Keane about his book How to Use the Book of Common Prayer. You might be thinking, how does this relate to me, I am not an Anglican, nor do I want to be? I would challenge you and say that my own prayer life has been greatly impacted by the BCP over the past year.  There is a richness to learning from prayer that is much older and broader than the traditions that are only a hundred years or so. Drew also, was part of the team that transposed and released the 1662 BCP.  Also amazing!!!

Doug and Bob chat with Pastor and author Caleb Campbell about the opportunities for discipleship and mission that are ahead of us in the election cycle. He brings into view some practical and creative ways to love and care for folks in your congregation who are living into the political fear in this season.  Caleb has had a lot of experience in this world as his church was deeply impacted by the 2020 election.  If your church is praying and actively working through ways forward or you are feeling the divide in your community during this election cycle, you are going to want to give this a listen to.

Doug and Bob talk Church with Natalie Runion. One of the many things that we appreciate about Natalie is the way she is able to be honest, raw and hopeful for what is to come. Natalie talks about her new book, the story behind it, how this was one of the hardest books to write, and what she has discovered about the love she has for the Church in the process. We are glad to share this episode with you.

Doug has a great chat with writer, editor, catechist and trained horticulturist — Julie Lane-Gay about her book on faith and liturgy titled The Riches of Your Grace. Julie has  been shaped by and thought deeply about the ways in which the Book of Common Prayer has formed her and the gift it is to shape us in our ordinary life.  I appreciate the ways in which liturgy has brought forward many deep parts of God’s character and ways that we can enter into prayer in a natural and focused way.  I am glad we get to share this conversation with pastors!  We hope you enjoy.

Both Bob and Doug were youth pastors, Doug was obviously better than Bob, but I digress.  This episode Bob and Doug talk with youth ministry legend Tic Long who has seen the scope from the early years of youth ministry being a thing until now.  It has the feel of a PBS documentary that could be next Ken Burns project.  Tic Long has spent most of his adult life in youth ministry and leadership. He worked at Youth Specialties for 34 years. Most of those years he spent leading the National Youth Workers Convention, which he loved and poured his heart and soul into.  Speaking of soul, Tic also had a killer soul patch. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Tic Long.

Doug and Bob talk with Jeff Haanen the founder of The Denver Institute for Faith and Work. Jeff has learned that real transformation takes place “from the inside out.”  When emotional and spiritual health and the pursuit of truth gives birth to healthy work and thriving relationships, leaders are positioned to make long-lasting positive social and cultural impact.  As pastors one of the most important aspects of our calling is to help our folks in the workforce thrive and see life in that sector as mission and important to the kingdom. We hope you enjoy this episode, share it with folks in your congregation who work in the public sector.
