    A Church for Sean

    This is a very special one, friends. Of all the people I have ever interviewed on a podcast, this guest will always be the most special of all: my husband of 15 years, life partner, and best friend, Sean Allan Bowerman. We talk about our love story, our parenting journey, our ministry journey, and what it takes for a church to be able to reach a weirdo millennial Godzilla fanatic like Sean. This is a public episode.

    A Church for Amber

    Amber is also a podcasting clergywoman, and when she invited me to be on her podcast, I invited her to come be on mine, and the results were magical! Think of this episode as part 2 of a glorious 2 part conversation about how to integrate badass women in the life of the Church.
