Patrick

"What you are is God's gift to you, what you become is your gift to God." ―Hans Urs von Balthasar, Prayer "You are not part of society, you are society. You are not stuck in traffic, you are traffic." ―The meme that changed my life "I want you to make your own circles." ―Holy Spirit “If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” ―Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956 "When [churches] are divided along racial lines, the power of the gospel to overcome our human differences is denied. But when [a congregation] does by its life together truly overcome this disunity, it is an incredible witness to the miracle of the gospel." ―George Webber

On this episode Patrick sits down with Micah Redding, a world-traveling preacher’s kid and founder of the Christian Transhumanist Association.  They talk about Micah’s inadvertent brushes with world events, the challenges of finding and then leading your community, and how different faiths can intersect in surprising ways.

Ep 006 - Interview Episode with Brian Schroeder, one of Patrick's long time friends. Patrick discusses Brian's somewhat backward high school to college experience in the Nashville world and how that shaped his take on everything from mentor-ship to snowmen and Salvador Dali. There is some great discussion of what it means to be concerned about our jenga tower of baggage crumbling and leaving behind just.. us.

Interview Episode! Patrick and (the legendary) Lindsey Krinks dive deep into the reality of homelessness and street ministry. We particularly love Lindsey's beautiful approach to staying open to everyone where they are, and a very insightful garden analogy. Then to top it all off Lindsey drops some major wisdom about self-care.
