The Grimké Podcast

Listen in as Prof Holland interviews Grimké graduate Justin Honaker (MTS, 2021)—a former coal miner and pharmacist turned pastor. Pastor Honaker talks about his journey to pastoral ministry, life in the mountains, and how Grimké has shaped his church and relationships with other men in ministry. Justin Honaker is the Lead Pastor of Lebanon Community Fellowship in Lebanon, VA, and the Fraternity Director of Grimké Fraternity.

With the best intentions, the Gospel-Centered Movement attempted to refocus churches on the primacy and centrality of the gospel in all of life. This week, the profs discuss the movement’s benefits and unintended man-fearing, sin-minimizing effects.

Enjoy this dialogue with Dr. Andrew J. Newell, Professor of Historical Theology and Culture at both Grimké Europe and Grimké Seminary. Dr. Newell explains the historical challenges of training ministers in the UK and the growing distrust of public institutions with Prof. Laughlin and Dr. Ponder.

In this episode, the profs discuss the church's role in training pastors in distinctly masculine ways and spaces.

It’s no surprise—many pastors aren’t doing well. In fact, many don’t even know what a pastor is or who he must be. In this episode, the profs consider the scourge of pragmatism and professionalism on the ministry as well as biblical solutions to our current crisis.

In this episode, the profs reflect on their experiences from the church planting explosion of the early 2000s. As church planters, they consider its beginning, biblical framework, failures, and hope for its future. The Grimké Podcast is hosted by Joe Holland, featuring Bryan Laughlin, with Doug Logan Jr., and Doug Ponder.
