On episode twenty-six, I’m joined by Wes McLachlan. Wes served as an associate pastor at the Red Bluff Vineyard and has a Masters degree in theology and was born and raised in South Africa. On this episode we discuss the coming season three theme: how to be a sacramental charismatic.

On episode twenty-five, I'm talking with Dr. Louise Gosbell, an Australian biblical scholar who specializes in the subject of disabilities. Dr. Gosbell has written numerous articles and projects on how churches can engage with (and include) people with disabilities. We discussed the following: What is a disability? Why does this matter for the Church? What Biblical texts are primarily formative in developing a theology of disability? How do we engage other scholarship on the subject? What about the subject of healing? What does it look like for churches to become more inclusive? About Louise: Dr. Louise Gosbell is the Dean of Students and Lecturer in New Testament at Mary Andrews College in Sydney, Australia. Louise’s PhD, which looked at disability in the gospels, was completed at Macquarie University in 2015 and was published in 2017. Louise has a keen interest in the issue of disability and has been involved in various aspects of ministry and academic writing in this area for over 20 years. She has also been in the role of Sydney co-ordinator for CBM’s Luke 14 program training churches in disability inclusion for 10 years. Louise has recently completed writing a disability handbook for the Sydney Diocese of the Anglican church which will be launch in April this year which aims to help churches to become more inclusive of people with disabilities and their families. Louise is married to Mark who is a Principal at a special school and they have 3 teenage daughters. Louise is an avid reader in any form – ebooks, audiobooks and real books! Louise is also a slightly fanatical U2 fan and has seen them in concert 24 times.

On episode twenty-four, I'm sitting down with Kristen Daley-Mosier to discuss baptism and her research on the subject! About Kristen: Kristen Daley Mosier completed her M.Div. at Fuller Seminary Northwest (Seattle) in 2012, and holds a B.A. in Art History from Western Washington University. Based in the Pacific Northwest, her research interests explore intersections of creation, spirit, materiality, and place. She is particularly interested in developing a theology of water that connects persons, places, and the experience of baptism through the life of the Holy Spirit. Kristen lives in the Seattle area with her spouse, with whom she serves the community of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, located on Duwamish land in the Cedar River watershed.

On episode twenty-three, I'm talking to Susan Cho Van Riesen about her experience as a female lead pastor, Asian American ethnic and cultural concerns, and much more!

On episode twenty-two, I had a conversation with Winfield Bevins and we discussed the role of liturgy, the Book of Common Prayer, and the intersection of being a Sacramental Charismatic!

On episode twenty-one, I'm joined by Melody Winderweedle to discuss the various dynamics attached to women in ministry as well as a good bit of thinking in relation to how the politics of the kingdom of God are "yellow."

On episode twenty, I have a conversation with Edgar King and Ramon Mayo to discuss a lot of different topics, including Church, theology, and ethnic diversity.

On episode nineteen I'm talking with my new friend Reese Hogg III. Reese and I have been connected through social media for awhile and finally had a chance to sit down and have a conversation. In addition to hearing Reese share his thoughts on social justice, church, and worship, he shared how lament and grief, after the murder of his son, has been a space for encountering God and learning about worship. I was unaware of this aspect of Reese's life and I'm still processing all that I have learned from him from this conversation.

On episode eighteen I'm talking with my friend Donnell Wyche. This conversation was a lot of fun and we talked about many important topics, including Liberation Theology (and why African American theologians have been overlooked), ethnic diversity in the Church, Critical Race Theory, and much, much more!

On episode seventeen I have a conversation with Stephanie Snow! I've known Stephanie long enough that I wasn't even sure how we met (it was at a Vineyard church). On this episode we talk about issues connected to ethnic reconciliation, how churches can be more intentional toward diversity, her passion for justice as both a follower of Jesus and a lawyer, and much more!
