This podcast is designed around the reality that many of our churches are shrinking because we haven’t created a place where everyone can belong. So if you’re seeing that reality in your own church, or you’ve experienced that and left the church, this podcast is for you.

S6E9: “Inigo Montoya and the Psalmist” with Cana Moore
Wednesday, July 27, 2022
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Cana Moore

Summary: Cana invites us into the mind of character Inigo Montoya from the cult classic film “The Princess Bride.” Then she moves deftly to the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 25 and helps us to see that God’s guidance has been there all along--if only we will ask for it.

S6E8: “Hospitable Leadership” with Katelyn Hargrave
Wednesday, July 20, 2022
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Katelyn Hargrave

Summary: As a woman called to ministry, Katelyn felt repeatedly pushed out, excluded, and heard the message that she did not belong in ministry. She resonates with this man in Mark’s Gospel who boldly heals in Christ’s name while the insiders try to invalidate his ministry. But the hospitality of Jesus is surprising, inclusive, and reciprocal. About the healer and about Katelyn, Jesus says “they belong, they’re doing my work.” To be a Jesus follower is to let go of power and ego and control, and to embrace the subversive leadership and hospitality of Jesus.

S5E7: Hosea - An Uncommon Fairytale
Wednesday, March 3, 2021
PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Christine Fox Parker

Summary: The book of Hosea has long been one of my favorite stories. The first three chapters especially--though dark and haunting--contain the most beautiful story of love ever. It is not the story of Hosea loving Gomer despite her prostitution. Rather, it is God loving me despite mine. It is the timeless story of the persons and people of God believing themselves to be faithful to YHWH even as we chase false lovers and the unremitting steadfast commitment of YHWH to the bride.

PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Summary: God tells Jonah to go. And the funny thing is, when you think about modern-day missionaries, they have a really hard time getting funding to go to places that may not be receptive. But with Jonah--he knows that they’ll turn from their ways, that they’ll repent and want to come back to YHWH. There’s no question in his mind that they’ll accept his message. He just doesn’t want to deliver it. It’s not fair. Why should they be forgiven and allowed back in?
