In this episode of Pastors Anonymous, hosts Jenny Steele and Rev. Jess Shults explore the evolving understanding of what it means to be the Church. Inspired by a listener's question—"Can church occur in a dog park or a tattoo parlor?"—they discuss the mental models that shape our perceptions of community and faith, challenging the notion that Church is confined to a physical building.
This episode is for anyone feeling weary in their journey or seeking to revitalize their connection to faith and fellowship. If you have questions or scenarios you'd like addressed, send an email to podcast@colossianforum.org.
In this episode, Jenny and Jess discuss:
How the early Church was characterized by shared experiences and practices rather than specific locations
