Future Church (Pod)

In this episode, Taylor & Ashish talk about the tragic events in Uvalde, TX, and what matters most as we look ahead.

Season 2 - Episode 2.

How would you live in your community if you knew you could never move? Taylor and Ashish discuss the end of the iPod and the significance of playing the long game.

SEASON 2 / Episode 1 - We're back with a brand new season. A lot has happened in our year away - in our lives and in the church. 

There's a lot going on. Whether it's the Israel-Palestine Conflict or the behavior of humans that is leading to anything but flourishing, the issues we're facing aren't new - they're old. We explore how we should think about these conflicts, and then the conversation shifts to talking about voices we grew up listening to. Preachers, leaders, writers - they shaped us. And while they may not be relevant to the younger generation, they still carry weight for us, because they were relevant in our formative years. Today, the younger generation is navigating what we had permission to navigate. We must give them the space to do what we did.

We're back with our 4th episode. In many ways, this last year flipped feedback upside-down. The mechanisms we rely on to give us a pulse of reality have largely been quenched, while the feedback we're not used to having regularly is in front of our faces constantly with social media and the gig economy. This upside-down feedback isn't all bad... it's actually an invitation from God to rest.

It's episode three! Ashish & Taylor talk about how important it is for pastors & leaders to embrace growth mindsets as they look to the future. A static mindset can keep you stuck, inflexible, and unprepared for what's next. Is it possible to have 'outside the box thinking' without 'crushing the box'?

It’s easy to celebrate productivity or ‘fruitfulness’ or ‘busyness’, while ignoring the overall health of our souls, our teams, and our ministries. In this second episode, Ashish and Taylor explore how important it is to allow for seasons to slow down, pause, and ’decommission the garden’ of our lives.
