Reimagining Faith with the Pastors Jackson

Religion EN ↓ 100 episodes

Nichole and Zack Jackson are the pastors of Open Table UCC in Pottstown, PA. We left our separate churches in May of 2022 to plant a new faith community that is theologically progressive, Pottstown focused, with Jesus at the center. We want to unpack what all that means while also giving you an inside-look into the messiness of starting a new church. We’re going to talk to some incredible difference-makers while taking a deep dive into matters of justice, equality, and the revolutionary stories within the Christian scriptures.

What is God and How Do You Know You Have the Right One? 16.10.2024

Episode 27 We're back answering another listener question. This one is.... tricky.    "What is God and how do you know you have the right one?"   So join us as we attempt to explain the indescribable while also holding onto what we know, experientially, to be true for us.

When Faith Falls Apart Part 2 15.08.2024
