Bud Pierce is the pastor of two churches in or near Independence, Virginia, tucked away in the mountains. I've never met Bud, but I am certain that if I ran into him anywhere in the world, I'd recognize him.  Listen in and find out why.

The World Is My Parish

The mainline protestant church is full of strength and hope.  I am full of optimism about the mainline church‘s future, despite the premature obituaries currently being written.  

I‘m your host, Rev. Steven D. Martin, a pastor, communicator, filmmaker, and provocateur.  I have a love/hate relationship with the church, even as I‘ve given my life to it.  I suspect I‘m not alone.

On this podcast, I‘ll talk with a cast of characters that include friends old and new who are passionate about finding ways through the wilderness the mainline church finds itself in.  You‘ll get inspiration, resources, ideas, and the assurance that you‘re not alone.  Join me each week for a conversation with the most interesting and innovative Christian leaders in the world today.
