In episode two of The Pulpiteer, we'll struggle with Jesus' core prophetic teaching of the transformative power of love. We'll use two contemporaries, Marshall Rosenberg and Alfie Kohn, to help us bring this wisdom into focus and to ask some hard questions.

In this first episode of the Pulpiteer Podcast, we'll tackle this question: What is Church For? Is it a social club? Or a general purpose social justice non-profit? Is it an entertainment? A show? A musical performance? A Sunday morning day-care respite? Is it a lecture? A ceremony? A ritual? A backstage pass to the preferred afterlife? (revised version October 2024, intro music included)
