Grief is a burden that many people are carrying, and most of the time it goes unseen and unaddressed. This week’s episode of the Evangelical Anglican features Drew Hensley, the author of the newly released book “Invisible Grief: An Honest Conversation on the Pain and Loss of Unrealized Hopes, Dreams, and Good Desires.” We spoke about these kinds of griefs and how they impact our lives and how we see God. Our conversation was not only theological and theoretical, but also pastoral and practical. And I didn’t even mean for those to both start with the same letters. We talked about pastoral responses to grief, pastors understanding their own pain and suffering, and how Christ suffered our griefs, as well. It was a blast of a conversation and I can’t wait for you to hear it!You can buy Invisible Grief here: https://a.co/d/a3MPTulFind more of Drew’s speaking and writing here:

In this episode of the Evangelical Anglican, host Jared welcomes Professor Miles Smith, author of "That Blessed Liberty: Episcopal Bishops and the Development of the American Republic from 1789 to 1860." The conversation delves into the historical context of Anglicanism in America, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by early bishops in establishing a distinct identity separate from the Church of England. They explore the complexities of Anglican identity in contemporary America, particularly within the ACNA (Anglican Church in North America) and the Episcopal Church. Miles argues that the early bishops managed to create a national Protestant church with significant theological unity despite their differences, a feat that seems increasingly challenging today.

A lot of Anglicanism today is in an identity crisis and has been for the last few hundred years. One of the ideas behind this channel is that modern evangelicalism’s approach to Christianity is a great indicator of the direction Anglicanism needs to head, with some clarifications and changes along the way.This was perfectly articulated and clarified in my conversation with Dustin Messer. He gets it, so to speak. And much less, he’s in the thick of it right now as the vicar of an evangelical Anglican parish in Dallas with over 700 people attending weekly. This is unheard of in the mainline! But, church growth is not complicated, Dustin and I talk about what they did to grow and it will shock you: they just kinda did normal Christian stuff. Check out our conversation, it was one of my favorite ones we’ve done yet and its a perfect picture of what this channel is trying to articulate.Follow Dustin on X here: https://x.com/dustinwmesser

Are the mainlines hopelessly lost? Are conservative split-offs “schismatic”? What’s it like to be at the center of a movement?Join us this week for a fascinating conversation with Redeemed Zoomer. RZ is the leader of the Reconquista, a movement focused on retaking the mainline denominations for orthodox conservatives. Overall, one of the more interesting conversations I’ve had. He certainly has some strong takes, and I could see some thinking they’re too strong, but he backs them up and stands by them. Which these days is pretty refreshing. Very grateful he was willing to come on the show.Note: At one point I say that Gob Bluth said “there are dozens of us!” This was an error, a serious error. It was Tobias Fünke. I am sorry for this egregious mistake and will endeavor to prevent it from happening again in the future.
