This is Kelly Kannwischer, Executive Director of Presbyterian Global Fellowship. I am letting you know that we have launched a podcast, Sent! It is not the most eloquent of podcasts - yet. It is just me, my phone, my laptop, and Garageband. The folks at the Mac store have been very patient.
But what my technical skills lack, the participants more than make up for. Graham Baird, a new church development pastor under the age of 40, recently joined me. He shared his thoughts regarding new church development based on his experience in Paso Robles, California. What he says might surprise you. For example, he ardently opposes bringing Presbyterians from any other congregation to the church plant. Why?Listen and find out.
Rob Weingartner and Paul Parsons talk about supporting missionaries - and exactly how you can be confident and feel great about the amazing work they are doing. Your contributions do not need to be lost in Louisville. How? Rob and Paul talk about it.
Also, there is already a "special edition." Since there are only 2 episodes, this is a little silly. But First Presbyterian San Antonio hosted a gathering of missionally minded congregations in Texas. It was a great event for elders and leaders to discuss the enormous changes taking place in the culture and therefore the church. One of the features was a panel discussion regarding the present and future of the PCUSA. The panelists were: Mark Roberts (PCUSA pastor and current leader at Laity Lodge), Michael Walker (former PFR Executive Director, one of the PGF founders, and current theologian in residence at Highland Park Presbyteiran), Nancy Cross (elder and current co-moderator of the Presbyterian Coalition), and me (Executive Director of PGF). If you want to listen, feel free to subscribe to the podcast.
