Pulpit Aside: Recent Episodes
Jessie Still
In a social media age, when everyone is trying to boost their platform and preach their message; two pastors come together to put the pulpit aside and have some uncommon exchanges; some considerate conversations about cultural topics from a Biblical worldview.
We’re not just trying to boost likes, comments, shares and follows. We’re trying to find some sanity, some clarity, and some unity in the midst of our diversity, to offer some hope in a culture steeped in division, confusion, and toxicity. Come along with us, as we put the pulpit aside.
Coye and Jessie look back on Season 2 and the theme of God's POWER and work -- and how God transforms lives. In the wake of Resurrection season, this episode platforms the presence of the Risen Christ in the themes of the stories we've looked at this season.

If you want to start a hot debate, start talking about the "trans issue".
If you want to have understanding, talk to a PERSON.
If you want to have your paradigms BLOWN, see what happens when Jesus is involved!
In this episode, we get to hear one woman's story of TRANSFORMATION, after living 10 years as a transgender man . . how God was at work in her life (and still is). We believe this conversation will equip you with grace, compassion and faith for those who you may not understand . . but who God loves and has plan for!

Join Jessie & Coye as they wrap up our first season on Pulpit Aside! We also take some time to address some listener feedback (always appreciated!). We don't always agree... and that's exactly what this podcast is all about... learning to hear one another and seek understanding, even if we don't see eye to eye. We are grateful for EVERY one of our listeners. We are here for YOU! New season coming soon!
Women in church- stay silent, or sent by God? Many God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians have strong opinions on both sides of this issue. What are we to do? Coye & Jessie still down with Tasha Trevino -- a woman in ministry! -- to push the pulpit aside and talk about it. This is our first special guest episode, and we are SO excited about it!! This episode is a continuation of the conversation (make sure to check Part 1 if you haven't heard it yet!).

How does the "third member" of the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), God Himself, seem to stir up so much confusion and even division among different believers in the Church? Setting aside doctrinal statements and preaching points, we take some time to discuss experiences and Scripture in an authentic way. Is Holy Spirit like a creepy uncle or our comforting friend? Come along as we push the pulpit aside.

When we jumped in the deep end on our last episode, we didn't realize how much there was to tread through as we navigated through the waters of faith deconstruction and church hurt. So, here's Part 2- and we talk about the stuff that needs to be talked about! Come along, as we push the pulpit aside.

We're here to talk about the things others aren't talking about, or people are more prone to "preach" about/against, with out having a real conversation, so why not jump in on the deep end?? When we asked our friends what they'd love for us to address, faith deconstruction and church hurt were the TOP topic, so here we are. Faith deconstruction: What is it? How should we respond? "Church hurt"- We all got it. What do we do with it? This episode goes hard! Come along, as we push the pulpit aside.

Digital communication has revolutionized our society. We've gained so much! But, we seem to have lost the intricacies of inter-personal communication. Jessie & Coye push the pulpit aside to talk about how we can cultivate this essential skill in our lives, and bridge the cultural divides of our day.

Louisiana. Nation of Islam. Broadway. Fatherlessness. Comebacks... what do all of these have in common? US! Your hosts, Pastors Coye Bouyer and Jessie Still share their personal journeys -- what makes them who they are today -- and our different life "lenses", laying the ground work for our future conversations together. You'll be laughing AND learning as we begin the journey together. We hope enjoy this uncommon exchange between two different pastors, as we put the Pulpit Aside.
*Please pardon the less-than-perfect on this recording. We are learning as we go!
