Have you ever felt like you don’t deserve to be called to ministry because of your past? Listen to Sherri and Mike Harder’s story of discernment from hippies to parents to church planters. They share with depth and honesty what it looks like to receive God’s love and to be propelled forward by it.

On this week’s episode, our host Michael Gatlin sits down with Ted Kim and Renée Cunningham from the Evanston Vineyard giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the active transition of senior leadership of this flagship Vineyard church from it’s founding pastor, Steve Nicholson, to the leadership of Ted Kim. This is a very practical and helpful episode not only for the churches in active leadership transition but every church digging into your “why” behind your “how”. 

On this episode, Michael and our new co-host Liz Moore sit down with Dr. Caleb Maskell, leader the Society of Vineyard Scholars and the Worship Pastor at Blue Route Vineyard Community Church outside Philadelphia, PA. He has taught at Princeton Theological Seminary and Fordham University. Caleb is passionate about developing leaders and institutions that will help to produce a healthy, courageous, and hospitable future for the church in the 21st century. 

Join us for this important conversation about the practice of theology being humble, hospitable, and curious as we seek to plant healthy churches.
