On the Verge: From Inspiration to Incarnation

We turn the tables on our host, Corey Schlosser-Hall, to celebrate his 15 years of ministry in the Northwest Coast Presbytery and to find out what HE is "On the Verge" of next! Our guest host, Rev. Doug Bunnell, asks all of the questions Corey has posed to our previous guests...and a few more!

Guest hosts, Revs. Doug Bunnell and John Mason, share a David Letterman style Top Ten List of things we love about Corey Schlosser-Hall, our host of "On the Verge" as he transitions to an exciting new role with the Presbyterian Mission Agency.

"We are on the verge of learning how redemptive and restorative our unity can be!" Kristi and Grant Gustafson are passionate about unity--particularly about seeing individuals and communities reconciled first to God, and then to one another. We're excited to have them share with us at VERGE 2021!

Energizing speaker, prolific writer, theologian, and host of the Madang podcast, Rev. Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim will be speaking at VERGE 2021 and challenging us to consider thinking of ministry as intercultural….during and after the pandemic!

Chanda Rule--an accomplished vocalist, vocal coach, storyteller, and writer--welcomes us to "drop in" to the moment as she leads us in song and worship at VERGE 2021 all the way from Vienna, Austria.

Known as the Dialog Guy, Dr. David Campt formed The Dialog Company in 2018 out of his passion to help people work better together, especially in the stickiest issues of the day—like race and privilege, and he is our keynote speaker at VERGE 2021 on October 9th. Enjoy this teaser conversation with Dr. David Campt!

What do you get when you cross a tar heel girl from North Carolina with a boy from big hat Texas? An adventure of faith with Dennis and Matt McCoy! While pursuing a vocation in business startup and real estate development, their family and small group said to Matt, “We think you need to become a pastor.” The McCoy’s eventually settled in Bellingham, WA where today they are two years into a creative new church expression called Spring Church, Bellingham. If you ever wondered what Jane Fonda has to do with faith and embracing new forms of church, this "On the VERGE" conversation is just for you!

Sarah Moore-Nokes--pastor, coach, and consultant--shares her love of helping people to think and act differently and her fierce commitment to the common good. Having recently transitioned from serving as Associate and General Presbyter for Winnebago Presbytery, Sarah is now intentionally resting, pursuing her hobbies, and working on an innovative and practical proposal for restorative actions.

Andrea Perrett shares her passion for encouraging others to lean into their vocation and pursue where God is calling them to imagine and build the church. Her pioneering spirit is contagious as she reflects and marvels at how God has called her through deep holy restlessness and doing the thing she can't NOT do.
