    S4E2: #TapestryofCall Our Balm is our Wholeness(Rev Kelsey Brown)

    We continue this season, #TapestryOfCall, with the Rev Kelsey Brown. This conversation is so full of joy and openness and we hope it will be a balm to your soul as it was ours. Rev Kelsey shares about the beauty and the struggles of her work with and among her community of Jehu’s table-an African Descent Lutheran congregation. We are so grateful for her vulnerability and her wisdom. Here's her bio: Rev. Kelsey Brown describes herself as sometimes funny, very queer, frequently anxious, and completely absurd. A 20-something hailing from Long Island, New York – she comes equipped with the accent & attitude to back it up. In her free time, she is falling back in love with spoken word poetry, breaking it down on the dance floor, and ritual creation. She believes with her full heart that God’s delight in diversity is call for us all to embrace the fullness of humanity. Racial justice and advocacy work fuel her fire, while deep friendships and long naps quench her thirst. She can be seen in her natural habitat - quoting show-tunes, doubled over in laughter and challenging others to “do the work.” Special thanks to Odai productions for the editing and production: https://soundcloud.com/afoteyodai Thank you Rev.

    S4E1: #TapestryofCall Bi-vocational Pastor (Rev Nicolette Peñaranda)

    Season 4 is here!! This season we are joined with some amazing WOC leaders (pastors, activists, writers, and everything in between) who share how they are answering a call to do the work at this time. We are calling this season Tapestry of Call because we see each person's call and vocation as a part of a whole. We're all connected. Our first episode starts out with Rev Nicolette Marie Peñaranda. She shares with us what it's like to be a bi-vocational pastor. The challenges and triumphs. And we are grateful to know her and for her willingness to be transparent and share some of her journey with us. Here's her bio: Rev. Nicolette Marie Peñaranda is the pastor of First Lutheran Church of the Trinity in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago, IL. Nic was raised in the Metro New York area where she attended Wagner College for her degree in Sociology, History, and Masters in Business Administration. While receiving her MDiv at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, Nic began merging her love of art with scripture. This blend has led to a mural on display at Instituto Evangelico Argentino en Grand Bourg, Argentina and at the 2018 National Youth Gathering’s Creative Expressions area. She is now the 2022 National Youth Gathering’s Creative Expressions Manager to continue to put her craft to use. Outside of the church, Nic leads racial justice facilitations through her game MONadvocacy. The Peñaranda family now resides in Berwyn, Illinois where Nic is running for City Council member. When Nic is not accompanying a congregation or running for office, she spends time with her spouse Dennis, her daughter Mahalia, and her two cats Penne and Rigatoni. You can support her campaign for 1st Ward Alderman here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/friends-of-nicolette-pe-aranda-1?fbclid=IwAR23Er8_1e8Kvz_aa0nj7VY7b6wfdjtjIHIl7KCkbUmh--kHyssqDsW1edg Special thanks to Odai productions for the editing and production: https://soundcloud.com/afoteyodai
