The Millennial Pastor: Recent Episodes

Josiah Jones

Welcome to “The Millennial Pastors” where we talk about the intersection between faith and culture, from the millennial perspective. How ministry is done in the 21st century needs evaluating and we're here to share a fresh perspective. Instead of simply going to church, we want to be the church!

Welcome to season nine of the podcast! This season, an "honest conversation about disability and the Church" will be hosted by Letiah Fraser. Her guest in this episode is Dr. Carlos Thompson! Here is a little more about Carlos:

Bio: L. S. Carlos was born in the Latin American costal port city of Cartagena, Colombia. After being adopted by a North American family, he was raised in Fargo, North Dakota. Carlos has earned a B.S. in Church Ministry from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida; an M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida; as well as both an M.Th. in Ministry and Mission (Practical Theology), and a Ph.D. in Divinity, from the University of Aberdeen, King’s College, in Aberdeen, Scotland. He is also a recipient of Western Theological Seminary’s Henri Nouwen Doctoral Fellowship. WTS is also Dr. Carlos’ community where he serves as the Assistant Professor of Church and Community Theology; the Director of the Friendship House Community; the Director of the Friendship House Fellows Program; and the Student Accessibility Coordinator. Dr. Carlos has served in various pastoral capacities for 15+ years and been engaged in the ministry of preaching for 20+ years in over 10 different denominations. Carlos identifies as a Charismatic-Reformed Pentecostal who lives with congenital Cerebral Palsy. Thus, the lived experience of disability informs and shapes Carlos’ current research around the faithful development of Christian Communal Theology. Carlos is particularly interested in what it means for Christians to faithfully live into and express Jesus’ healing ministry; what a biblically faithful definition of health might actually look like today; and the impact that these two subjects have on the relationship between community formation, bodily health, and Christian praxis. As a result, the following questions are foundational to Carlos’ present research and spiritual reflection: what is it that makes a Christian community ‘Christian’ and ‘communal’? What does it mean to be ‘healed’? How are Christians to understand ‘healing’ in the midst of enduring disability and chronic illness?

Goodness... This episode is special. It's special because we had the privilege to hear from our friend Jared. If you don't know him, you will quickly hear how passionate and energetic he is. In fact, due to technical issues, we had to record this episode over phones which allowed Jared to literally run around the farm he lives on while enthusiastically telling us the story of how he ended up living/pastoring there in the first place. You may occasionally be able to tell that we had to resort to this recording method, but we believe that Jared's story more than makes up for audio issues we experienced.

This episode is also very special because the very same day Jared recorded this episode with us he was in a serious accident that sent him to the hospital. With permission from his spouse Sophie, we decided to share his episode in light of this awful event. We hope it's what Jared would want, and we look forward to him hearing it in the near future. While you listen to Jared, would you pray for the long road to recovery that lays before him? Also, if you are hearing of his injury for the first time and want to reach out to encourage the family, please help us limit the noise and chaos of phones and social media accounts by sending your well-wishing to us. We will make sure they receive it in the least invasive way possible.

Enjoy.

Letiah & Brent re-join the podcast to share a little of what they have gone through over this past year. We also talk about how 2020 has shaped the community gatherings they both currently lead. Letiah has leveraged zoom to create a gathering that would not have otherwise been possible. Bent has taken cues from ancient practices to form a gathering that might seem unusual for a millennial to be part of in 2021. Both approaches have differences, but the most important thing they share is a desire to gather with others for the purpose encouraging one another to become more christlike!

Andrew lived a fairly regular life. He was brought up going to church, and even pursued ministry as a young adult. Somewhere along the line he got fed up and decided to disengage and stopped going to “church.” He never stopped keeping tabs on what was happening in church circles though, because Andrew is actually the younger brother this shows host, Josiah. Both brothers walked nearly the same path for much of their lives, and ended up in different places. One in ministry, one out, both still doing everything they can to love people well.
