If you’ve been with us for a while, welcome back—and if you’re new, you’ve picked a pretty great moment to jump in. We’re kicking things off with a conversation with Dr. Erin Vernicum, co-editor of After Jesus, Before Christianity. It’s one of those interviews that could have gone on for hours—thought-provoking, surprising, and just plain fun to explore. We’re also bringing back a few Creative Ways Conference sessions you might have missed. Think of these as recasts with a purpose: not everyone can manage a full conference day, so here’s the chance to listen in on the good stuff while you’re on the go. And then we’re diving into a three-part mini-series on mental health and ministry. You’ll hear from Laura Howe of Hope Made Strong, Daniel Whitehead of Sanctuary Mental Health Ministries, and a couple of ministry leaders who’ve been using Sanctuary’s resources on the ground in their own congregations. Their honesty and insight make for rich, timely conversations.","meta_description":"eason five is almost here, and the Ministry Forum Podcast is gearing up for a lineup we’re genuinely excited about.
