    Podcasts within a podcast! As part of our ongoing celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the ordination of women in Community of Christ, we’re bringing back some excellent interviews with some of the first women to have been ordained as featured in “Women’s Rights.” These podcasts were written, edited and produced by students of David Howlett, scholar of religion in America and professor at Smith College in Northampton, MA, and originally aired in 2020. This episode is a combination of two of those podcasts: Interfaith Ministry and Changes. 
    You can find out more about “Women’s Rights” on their website, here.

    702 | Coffee to Go | Fourth Sunday of Easter

    Could it be that Christianity drew some of its images from surrounding culture?  Of course! Not only could it, it did! And, the Good Shepherd seems to be one of those images. How else might we know what Jesus meant by using “good” as a descriptor here in today’s passage?  Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith for this week’s Coffee to Go, as they encourage listeners to identify images and characteristics in today’s culture that serve as guides for the journey of discipleship.

    166 | A Journey Toward Ordination | Women in Community of Christ | Becky Savage Pt. II (RE-POST)

    166 | A Journey Toward Ordination | Women in Community of Christ | Becky Savage Pt. II (RE-POST)

    Community of Christ’s journey toward ordination of women began long before 1984 and Section 156 of the Doctrine and Covenants. The fact is that women have had significant roles in the Christian movement since its inception.  But, that didn’t make things easier for trailblazers like Marietta Walker, Catherine Westward, and Marge Troeh.  These women stand among many who have worked tirelessly to accept that, indeed, All Are Called. Join host Brittany Mangelson and the first woman to serve in Community of Christ’s First Presidency, Becky Savage, for part two of Women’s Journey Toward Ordination in Community of Christ.

    701 | Coffee to Go | Third Sunday of Easter

    Invite, eat, open, send! Four easy steps to being a witness ... or, if you prefer, a storyteller. Nothing to be afraid of, right? And yet, the disciples were just that ... afraid. Join hosts, Karin Peter and Blake Smith, for another look at the post-resurrection encounter between Jesus and his first disciples. This time from Luke’s perspective. Get a glimpse into the ways that Jesus encouraged, empowered, challenged and sent them (and sends us) into the world to continue his mission.

Variety of topics, guests, & formats through the lens of Community of Christ

Project Zion does a great job at incorporating a variety of topics and guests into their episodes. That being said, some topics don’t speak to me like others do. Hosts and some guests try to clarify Community of Christ-specific terms and history, but others assume listeners are familiar with the denomination. Some episodes feel more scripted than others. I’ve pulled specific episodes more than once to share with others just because of how meaningful they were to me. I’d recommend this podcast to people interested in Community of Christ or people looking to host their own podcast but needing inspiration on the kinds of formats and topics their own podcast might take.
