We have an excellent episode this week as we welcome Mike Maeshiro to the REVcovery Room!

We also answer the burning question of what is the deal with the golden dust at Bethel Redding. You don't want to miss this one.

We have the honor to welcome the one and only Scott Okamoto to the podcast today! Justin got to hang out with Scott for his book launch in Los Angeles and it was so good we felt like we had to have him on the show. As an Asian American college professor at a conservative university his revcovery looks different than many of our listeners but its themes of care for the other above dogmas and prioritizing curiosity over conservatism will feel very familiar.
Welcome Scott to the REVcovery Room!

This week Justin and Sarah reflect on another Easter outside of the pulpit and in the wilds beyond the stained glass windows. We can't go back to who we were as clergy but we still carry that sense of calling to name the truth and "go first" regardless of where we are.
Wherever you find yourself this Holy Week we hope you feel deeply at home and at rest. Welcome to the REVcovery Room.

This week we are happy to have a member of our Discord community share their experience of REVcovery. Rev Dr. Sara Relaford is a former UMC minister whose perspective on the journey into and out of ministry has been so valuable to our community. She and her husband were a clergy couple who deconstructed their views on ministry at roughly the same time while managing two church’s worth of expectations. So yeah, it was a lot but thankfully she has found a new vocation and voice and we are excited to share it with you.

This week on the pod we have Tim Whitaker, creator of The New Evangelicals, on the show. Tim was a super volunteer in churches and on worship teams and over time began to see that what was being practiced in churches was not lining up with what he had been taught his faith was all about. He started asking questions and that eventually led to his exit from volunteer life and into a new kind of community.
Its a good one folks; welcome to the REVcovery Room!
