Rev. Kori Robins

Rev. Kori Robins is a certified health coach and Director of the Clergy Wellness Institute at Pfeiffer University. She also serves as a Pastor in Chapel Hill, NC and is a member of the Virginia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.

Rev. Gina Anderson-Cloud

In this episode, I am joined by my friend Rev. Gina Anderson-Cloud. I first met Gina when she and her husband Bert were appointed to St. Matthew’s UMC as Associates under the incomparable, Rev. Ken Jackson (may he rest in Peace). In her first career, Gina used her study of Gerontology and Social Work to engage in a passion for caring for others. She took this passion and followed her path to ministry along with her husband, Bert. We discuss her path into ministry, her time in ministry, being married to a fellow pastor, and all the things that come with it as we reflect on her journey.

Rev. Dr. Denise Honeycutt

One of the true gifts I have experienced in ministry is having great mentors and friends. In this episode, I get the chance to speak with my mentor and close friend, Rev. Denise Honeycutt. Denise is authentic, energetic, empathetic, and empowering. And she is truly a gift for many of us.

Rev. Scott Bach-Hansen

Today, I share part of my story as a Second Career Pastor. I came to ministry equipped with a career in sales leadership for 25+ years. I am also sharing details about future podcasts that I will hold with varying topics and connections. I did not include my background as a Basketball Official on the High School and NCAA levels. Perhaps another episode down the road. I hope you enjoy learning a little more about my background and why I created this podcast. Thanks for listening.

Rev. Julie Nitzsche

From the fast-paced world of being a Nurse in the Cardiology unit at UVA Hospital to answering a call to ministry, my friend Rev. Julie Nitzsche has quite a story to tell. In this interview, Julie shares her background as a nurse, her call to ministry, and how her previous career allowed her to lean on those experiences in her role as a Pastor today. Currently serving as one of the Pastors at Aldersgate UMC in Charlottesville, Julie shares her career change, the importance of mentors, and connectional relationships in her role today.
