June 30, 2023 – In the midst of the oppressive summer heat of 2023, cool off with this 15-minute meditational respite offered by Rev. Bill Kemp, host of THE TRANSITIONAL SPECIALISTS PODCAST. His journey includes churches in post-pandemic disaffiliation stress, an apocalyptic novel, and the "Three S's" he learned from Rev. Rebekah Simon-Peter. She was the keynote speaker on the theme, "Embracing the Next Normal," at the recent 2023 Gathering of the Transitional Intentional Interim Ministry Specialists Association. Basically, Bill wants you to consider why "survival is insufficient."
