Exciting News!

Exciting News! Season 2 of the PreacHer Podcast is here and it’s going to be awesome!

Also, more exciting news! As you know, I’ve been writing and speaking and teaching for many years, and earlier this year I started the PreacHer Podcast (ahem, that’s why the blog has gone *quiet* for a while).

The response to all of this work that I’m so grateful to be part of has been tremendous—you guys are eager to hear women preach, and talk theology and doubts and church, and be inspired to build bigger tables. SO, let’s do something together, because God is still at work in the world and the church is the actual body of Christ and it matters. It’s time to lean in and level up. Let’s do this!

PreacHer Podcast
PreacHer: Dr. Jen Hale Christy

Summary: This introductory episode lays out the vision for this project–to bring a word of hope to those who are perhaps disenchanted with organized Christianity. You’ll hear reflections on what it means to be a “minister-at-large” in the world, untethered to an institution, but still deeply rooted in Christian faith and my heritage in Churches of Christ. You’ll hear my vision for continuing to dwell in the Word and in the world on behalf of God’s people, and bring a Spirit-breathed word–through this podcast! This is a message of hope — for you who are far away and you who are near. Listen in.
