Previous Podcasts

David Burke, conference content specialist, hosted this monthly podcast that features one-on-one interviews with those making a difference in the two-state area and beyond through their ministries and outreach. Click the logo or here to listen.

"At the Threshold" was a podcast for ministry leaders during a new, unsettled season in the life of the Church. Join hosts the Revs. Ashlee Alley Crawford and Shelly Petz as they host a conversation with and for clergy in order to describe what’s happening, ask questions to help us get “unstuck," and encourage the heart of pastors and leaders in this liminal time in which we find ourselves. Liminal may be a new word. But a new season calls for a new word. Liminal means a threshold from what we’ve always know to … well, we don’t know just yet what life and ministry is becoming. The hosts' goal is to find a little light at the threshold. Click the logo above or here to listen.
