42. Gathered & Scattered

Stretch was blessed with a bunch of family in town so Kenny & Stu went for it with: mostly unrestricted covid updates, controversial freedom posts, an article on digital vs. in-person church, identity tension between "I" and "Us" in being the church as Christians, Fuzz Kitto's (Aussie) perspective on consulting churches in conflict, church best at being local, pivoting away from institutions, and Michael Frost's podcast "In The Shift." That's enough for one week right??? We might let this one ride for a bit...whew. #pivotingpastor #InTheShift  Podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-pivoting-pastor   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_pivoting_pastor_podcast/   YouTube BONUS Content: https://youtu.be/jhqc4GPBDTY

"Jon Middendorf??? Who invited YOU!?!" Christ's influence on us through JM's influence is profound. We troll each other along a sporadic timeline "stretching" 15 days-15 yrs; "wading" into deep waters of hurt and hilarity as we "stu" over being the church, living in the tension of kingdom come, and the heresy of "playing safe pastor". "Jon" us! (not a typo;) #pivotingpastor (PS-wish I could have posted it all! But the internet nor "institution" is ready...)

(Originally was going to post this on https://anchor.fm/yamcast but rethunkified and just gonna leave this here…) Throwing SHADE with Jay G from the Philly District (or is he???)! A pivoting cornacopia of a conversational roller coast ride! Buckle-in. Strap-down. Arms and Legs inside the ride AT ALL TIMES (if you can even help yourself?!?) Jay drops some hot-takes on his conversion to faith in Christ, marriage, young adult AMA, being a pastor, what young adults are tired of, parenting, volunteer, vocational pivots, practical resources, scripture tats, and what’s next for him and fam. #pivotingpastor Podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-pivoting-pastor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_pivoting_pastor_podcast/ BONUS Content: https://youtu.be/ch9syuknzwM
