Host Greg Bolt sits down with Salem City Councilor and mayoral candidate Vanessa Nordyke to discuss her vision for a more inclusive and affordable Salem. From her early days painting faces at the Salem Art Fair to her work as a public servant and advocate for foster youth, Vanessa shares how a deep-rooted commitment to service and "jumping in headfirst" guides her leadership. The conversation explores critical local issues, including the expansion of mobile crisis teams, the importance of green spaces like Minto-Brown Park, and the moral choices reflected in the city’s budget.

Is Unity Possible, or Do Preferences Get in the Way? - With guest Shawn Daniel

We're taking a slight deviation this week and putting Pastor Greg in the hot seat. In this episode of "Questions I'm Asking," Greg Bolt is interviewed by Shawn Daniel, a Catholic seminarian, for a comparative study in ecumenism. They dive into the foundational beliefs of the Presbyterian Church (USA), exploring topics like the central role of Scripture, the concept of "God alone is Lord of the conscience," and the polity that shaped American governance. The conversation is a candid back-and-forth on the biggest barriers to Christian unity—including issues like women in ministry and LGBTQIA+ inclusion—while focusing on shared work, like organizing around poverty, that unites all Christians.
