The Millennial Pastor

Every now and then we catch wind that someone is doing church a little different. Ryan Fasani is one of those pastors who is innovating the pastoral role in real-time and may just be paving the way for what it looking like to participate in the life of the church tomorrow. In part one we talk about how he spends his time focused on three vocational areas: church planting, farming, and writing. Ryans book can be ordered here. 

Goodness... This episode is special. It's special because we had the privilege to hear from our friend Jared. If you don't know him, you will quickly hear how passionate and energetic he is. In fact, due to technical issues, we had to record this episode over phones which allowed Jared to literally run around the farm he lives on while enthusiastically telling us the story of how he ended up living/pastoring there in the first place. You may occasionally be able to tell that we had to resort to this recording method, but we believe that Jared's story more than makes up for audio issues we experienced.   This episode is also very special because the very same day Jared recorded this episode with us he was in a serious accident that sent him to the hospital. With permission from his spouse Sophie, we decided to share his episode in light of this awful event. We hope it's what Jared would want, and we look forward to him hearing it in the near future. While you listen to Jared, would you pray for the long road to recovery that lays before him? Also, if you are hearing of his injury for the first time and want to reach out to encourage the family, please help us limit the noise and chaos of phones and social media accounts by sending your well-wishing to us. We will make sure they receive it in the least invasive way possible.   Enjoy.  Links to what Jared is part of:  www.heirloomeastbay.com  www.peoplepeoplemedia.com  Sophie's (Jared's Partner) Episode

Letiah & Brent re-join the podcast to share a little of what they have gone through over this past year. We also talk about how 2020 has shaped the community gatherings they both currently lead. Letiah has leveraged zoom to create a gathering that would not have otherwise been possible. Bent has taken cues from ancient practices to form a gathering that might seem unusual for a millennial to be part of in 2021. Both approaches have differences, but the most important thing they share is a desire to gather with others for the purpose encouraging one another to become more christlike!  Letiah's previous episode: Click here Brent's previous episode: Click Here Letiah's contact info: Email

Ben Cremer is a pastor, a professor and a podcast host (A Plain Account which is part of The Millennial Pastors Podcasting Network)! On this podcast he shares everything from the rollercoaster that is being a pastor in a pandemic, his own struggle with mental health, as well as his thoughts on the pitfalls of American Evangelicalism as a whole. He also shares his hopes and dreams for what the Church could be if we were quick to confess, and slow to engage in culture wars rooted in pride. Listen and tell us what you think!

Andrew lived a fairly regular life. He was brought up going to church, and even pursued ministry as a young adult. Somewhere along the line he got fed up and decided to disengage and stopped going to “church.” He never stopped keeping tabs on what was happening in church circles though, because Andrew is actually the younger brother this shows host, Josiah. Both brothers walked nearly the same path for much of their lives, and ended up in different places. One in ministry, one out, both still doing everything they can to love people well. 

Will and Moose are on the show to talk about the different ways they have dealt with the Covid restrictions as it pertains to their worship gatherings. Spoiler alert, they took different approaches! It seems maybe there is not a one size fits all solution to these complex issues! Still, they both agree that our churches have had problems left unaddressed long before Covid made them glaringly obvious.  Will's previous episode Moose's previous episode Music Cred: Andrew Jones
