Women Leading Missional Work & Neighborhood Planting

What does it look like to start something in a neighborhood for the first time? How do we design environments that help develop people in faith? How do we activate more women to lead missional work? We talk about all this and more in an interview with Ericka Henry from The Holy District in Allentown, PA. Ericka is a pastor, church planter, and missional practitioner with over fifteen years of ministry leadership experience. After co-planting her first church at nineteen, she has gone on to lead discipleship development and organizational change in contexts spanning mega-church teams to place-based faith communities and more.She holds a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership from Greenville University and a Master of Arts in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. Ericka is also the founder of Holy District, a grassroots network of neighborhood-based faith communities focused on local transformation. Based in Allentown, PA, Ericka lives with her husband, son, and beloved Saint Bernard. There, she engages in Jesus-centered community building through Holy District and co-leads Somos CDC, an asset-based, anti-poverty community development corporation.

episode The Gritty Side of Missional Living artwork

The Gritty Side of Missional Living

Spoiler alert - missional living is more than Instagrammable house parties and cool service project days. In fact, often living missionally and loving your neighborhood involves doing things you’d never imagine. It can be anything but glorious. It’s caring about lights on sidewalks, showing up to boring meetings, and collaborating with people you weren’t planning on. In this episode we interview Beth Wolff about her story, and the important (and hard) work of living missionally. Beth was born the youngest of 4 in a military family but considers Fairfax, VA home. She attended Anderson University [https://anderson.edu/] , where she majored in Studio Arts and Bible & Religion. Later, she earned her Masters of Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary [https://www.fuller.edu/]. In 2009, after a stint as a Public Educator in Indianapolis, IN, Beth went to serve as the Pastor of Student Ministry at Mountain Park Church [https://mountainpark.org/] in Phoenix, AZ and eventually lead all ministries from birth through college and parenting. In 2016, Beth moved with her husband and two children to Clarksburg, MD to become the Lead Pastor at Clarksburg Church. Beth is passionate about developing and empowering people to love the things God loves, which means to love all the people, to seek justice and peace for the city, and to watch and wait for hope in the middle of despair Other Links: Video Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/@renaissancemicrochurches Website - wearerenaissance.org Sign-Up For The Practitioner Pathway Cohort - wearerenaissance.org/training

Missional Practitionership in the Age of AI

Not a day goes by that the headlines don't involve a story about artificial intelligence. For some, this means an exciting future. For others, it means the end of civilization as we know it. What are Christians supposed to think? How does this impact our missional practitionership and microchurch communities? In this episode, we wrestle with the complexity of this issue and talk about the implications.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
