    Episode #88 Faith Conversations: Rethinking The Way We Do Church

    In the 2 Bald Pastors podcast, hosts Joe McGarry and Geoff Sinibaldo discuss engaging their church community through various initiatives aimed at fostering connection, learning, and service. They highlight the success of interactive activities like trivia nights using platforms such as Kahoot and Blooket, advocating for intergenerational learning events that bridge the gap between different age groups within the church. The discussion also suggests rethinking traditional committee structures in favor of temporary, goal-oriented work groups to streamline volunteer efforts and make participation more accessible. Service projects are emphasized as a vital way for congregations to contribute to their local communities, with a focus on selecting initiatives that resonate with the congregation's interests. Additionally, the concept of a home communion visit team is introduced as a means to extend the church's care and outreach, suggesting that such shared ministry efforts can deepen relationships within the church community and provide meaningful support to those visited. Throughout the conversation, the importance of community, intergenerational engagement, and practical service is underscored as essential to the vitality and mission of the church.

    Episode #87 Faith Conversations: Navigating Five Realities of Decline and Renewal in the Church

    In this podcast conversation between Joe McGarry and Geoff Sinibaldo, the hosts explore the challenges and opportunities facing the church in a time of declining membership and changing cultural attitudes toward religion.

    They discuss regional and denominational trends in church decline, highlighting the need for congregations to adapt to new realities and rethink their approaches to outreach and mission. Despite the decline in organized religion, the hosts find hope in the continued belief in God among the majority of American adults and the curiosity about spirituality displayed by many young people.

    They emphasize the importance of engaging with individuals' curiosity and receptiveness to spirituality as an opportunity for meaningful connection and potential transformation. The hosts also reflect on the future of the church, emphasizing the significance of individual encounters with Christ and the need to focus on fostering connections rather than getting caught up in cultural conflicts.

    Despite the challenges posed by declining church attendance, the hosts remain optimistic about the church's potential to offer hope, comfort, and transformation to those seeking spiritual connection. They affirm their commitment to ongoing dialogue and exploration of what it means to be part of the church in a changing world.

A conversation about the Gospels

Listening from the Nebraska synod of the ELCA. I enjoy listening to the formal sermon at church and then listening to your informal conversations about the Gospel readings. Your words are very meaningful. You bring it back to what should be our focus: to love our Lord and to love our neighbors/the world. Keep the podcasts coming please. Thank you!

Changing the conversation

Great podcast. I listen to many pastors who podcast and this one is so different than the others.. I love how is just two guys having a conversation about everything instead of just regular preaching. Very interesting
