We know, nutrition and wellness seem like buzzwords right now. But before you roll your eyes and decide to skip this episode, there's a reason we thought it was important. Our guest, Theresa Scheller, applies the science of nutrition to mental and physical wellness. After years of struggling with ADHD, Theresa's journey into science and nutrition and mental health started with her own personal hurdles. Active in her faith, Theresa believes bringing the Kingdom of God here on earth includes people's bodies and mind.

Immigrants. Refugees. All hot button phrases right now. But what if these "political issues" sat down next to you at church? In this week's episode we sit down with local pastor Brett Doninger and a long-time member of his church, Elizabeth. Over the course of a year, their church has transformed into something they couldn't have imagined, therefore changing their congregation to act differently beyond the church walls. 

Husband, father of eight kids, ultra-marathon runner, psychologist, author, podcaster … you get the point. Jim Schroeder seems to do it all. It's his self-prescribed mission of wholiness – the synonymous drive of holiness and wholeness in all aspects of our being: physical, psychological, social, and spiritual. Our current miniseries is about places we find the Church outside of the church building, and Jim has found it everywhere. He joins us today to talk about how it took some personal inner battles to fully discover the integration of faith and psychology.  You can check out more of his books, articles, and podcast on ⁠his website⁠  Want to recommend a guest?

Brian grew up thinking the most spiritual, closest people to God were missionaries and pastors. So that was his goal - to become a lead pastor. But Brian started noticing a trend in his personal experience - church was becoming more and more stressful and work was more and more life-giving.  This unexpected reality caused Brian to reconstruct his ideas of who and where God wanted him to be. Join us for another episode of Stories Beyond the Pew where Brian Fleming, Regional Sales Manager at North America at MCC Verstraete, walks us through his journey. 

What do politics and the environment and the Church have in common? Loving your neighbor. The Church in politics is a risky thing to say. But this episode with Councilwoman Mary Allen explores how followers of Jesus can navigate that space. You may also know her as the owner of Sixth + Zero, the beautiful store on Main Street downtown Evansville that inspires us all to waste less and live more.

Bill Altman heard God speak to him in a factory. He went to college to be a missionary. Now he helps people plan how and where they're buried. Sometimes life doesn't follow the trajectory you intend, but as Bill puts it, "There's beauty in every stage and in every place of your life.” In this episode we explore the question Can the Church be in the mundane?  Share your story beyond the pew in the comments or email us at connect@forevansville.org

Web developer. Preacher. Bass Player. Gardener. Car washer extraordinaire Dan Sullivan joins us to talk about the Chicken Pot Pie life (as opposed to the TV Dinner life... we'll let him explain that one). Dan is one of those guys that seems to have mastered integrating his faith into every aspect of his life. He also loves to share stories. So that's what we do - share stories while weaving in the question - "What is God up to in this story, and how can I be a part of it?"

Sister Jane Michele has done something for the past 40 years. In our Stories Beyond the Pew series, we listen to people share moments where it clicked: someone asked the right question, connections were made, the right book or sermon hit home. But what if you haven't had a moment like that? In John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way, he says, "To be human is to change, constantly. Whether we are religious or not, we grow, evolve, fall apart, and come back together... So the question isn't 'Are you being formed?' it's 'Who or what are you being formed into?'' The way Sister Jane Michele treats others and views her purpose is clear that she's been sitting with the Lord every morning and evening for the past 40 years.

Gayla sees her cake shop as more than just a business—it's her ministry. Inspired by a friend's words that she could be a light on the corner, she shares many stories of how Gayla Cake has done just that. Sometimes it takes a small word from a friend to remind us that what we're gifted at and what we're already doing is a part of what God is doing in the community. Have your own story beyond the pew? We'd love to hear it! Share you story with us at connect@forevansville.org

Today we sit down with our own Communications Coordinator, Adrienne Gregurich. Growing up, she watched (and helped) her mom care for their neighbors, simply by meeting needs - big or small. These experiences taught her invaluable lessons about what it truly means to be a neighbor and how love is best expressed through actions. These simple yet powerful gestures redefined her view of community and taught her how loving others can be a beautiful, everyday act of grace and kindness.

We gather leaders to address our city's greatest needs. We also like to invest in them and help them grow. What better way than to hear from our city's Mayor. Jonathan, our Executive Director, had the privilege of interviewing Mayor Stephanie Terry at the Global Leadership Summit this year. We hope you're encouraged by her leadership and inspired to work together to make Evansville a place where everyone can flourish.

The first episode of Stories Beyond the Pew. This new miniseries is a mission to help Christians and Churches discover the role they can play in addressing our city's greatest needs. We're out of the gate with Hannah Bedwell, Sports Director for the Parks and Recreation Department. She talks about struggling with answering the question: "What do day to day sports have to do with the Kingdom of God?" Do you have a story of the Church Beyond the Pew? Let us know at connect@forevansville.org

Sometimes we get the question "But what do you guys actually do?" We're really motivated and excited about advancing human flourishing in our city through the Church. But what does that look like for our team on a daily basis? Join us in this special bonus episode as we reflect on the highlights of the past six months (did we cause some people to change careers?) and share what we've learned along the way through our favorite moments. What's next for the podcast? Get a sneak peek into our next miniseries called Stories Beyond the Pew!

This is the last episode in our Liturgy of the Neighborhood miniseries! If you haven't had a chance to listen to the other episodes, we'd recommend doing that first. The For Evansville team talks about their favorite moments of the series, and we've got some practical next steps for you.

A Commuter Church is a church where the majority of attendees do not live within walking distance. 81% of Christians drive 6+ minutes to church. So the reality is, most of us aren't neighboring alongside our church body. Or if we are, we're doing it somewhere we don't actually live. That's why we sat down with John Heflick, Local Engagement Lead at Crossroads Christian Church and Patti Lahay, Crossroads' Advocacy Team Leader for Glenwood Kids. Crossroads is one of the largest commuter churches in Evansville, and they've been involved in the Glenwood neighborhood for a long time. They share insights and stories about doing neighborhood work in a place that your church isn't in, and why building trusting relationships is where the work has to begin.

Liturgy. It's one of those churchy words where some Christians know exactly what it means, some think it's not a part of their denomination, and some don't know what it means at all. You're not alone! In this episode Austin Maxheimer, Love Your Neighborhood Director at Community One and author of Neighborhoods & Jesus, walks us through what liturgy means and how it can apply to the neighborhood. Spoiler alert - liturgy has something to do with formation - so Austin talks about how doing neighborhood work transformed his heart way more than all of his knowledge about neighborhood revitalization. And his research backed his own experience. Let us know what you think!

"I want the neighborhood to fight for us to stay." Do you have too many volunteers? We sure don't run into anyone who does. But Pastor John Culbertson and Neighborhood Liaison Kelly Fehrenbacher of Hope City Church may have just figured it out. What happens in the church during weekend services informs what happens in the neighborhood during the week, and vice versa. This intentional, cyclical culture has cleared a path for neighborhood transformation. Tune in for inspiring stories and deep convictions to bring transformation to a neighborhood.

Are neighborhood revitalization efforts evangelism? Should you measure the success of a church by its attendance? Is a church crazy for stopping their most successful event? Join the discussion with Kelli Ward, Operations and Outreach Pastor at Renew Christian Church and the President of Lamasco Neighborhood Association, Fred Mulfinger. In this packed episode, we cover topics from collaboration between churches, businesses, and nonprofits to micro-galleries all centered around what it looks like for a church to engage its neighborhood.

Liturgies are formulas for worship. Neighborhoods are big enough for us to have the potential to live, work and play but small enough for us to be known (The New Parish). We're kicking off our new season with a mini-series where we explore what daily rhythms and practices you should adopt to pursue bringing love, justice and purpose (aka: God's Kingdom) to your neighborhood. We'll share stories of churches and organizations already doing great work, what to do if you aren't in a neighborhood, and answer any questions you may have. We'd love to hear from you.

Josh Calhoun is the Executive Director of Hope of Evansville. Today spends his time working with low-to-moderate income households to break down barriers to homeownership. This was not always how he thought his life would end up. When he was a young person living in the Akin Park neighborhood in Evansville, Josh had aspirations of being a drug dealer, and eventually had a plan to rob a bank. Something changed for Josh when the people around him started supporting him and encouraging him to see beyond his current circumstance and pursue a different dream. Logan Miller and For Evansville produced a film where Josh is telling this story to his sons and we are premiering this film on January 18th at Imagine Evansville. This episode goes a bit deeper into the creation of this film, and why Logan, Josh, and For Evansville wanted to make sure this story was told. Check back after January 18th for a link to watch the film and share it.

When is the last time you saw the Ohio River? When is the last time you saw it because you were walking by it? As For Evansville seeks to advance human flourishing, we wanted to talk about how a new riverfront project advances human flourishing in Evansville. It's a lot more complex than you might think. We talk about things like providing equal opportunities to live, work and play by the river, the benefits of giving the community a place to interact with  people from different ages and socioeconomic backgrounds than their normal circles, and the positive physical and mental health implications of a beautiful space.  We wanted to hear from the people behind the project - so in today's episode - Jonathan sits down with Candace from Evansville Regional Economic Partnership, and Anna - a Landscape Architect at Sasaki, the company that oversees the Riverfront Development Project.  You can learn more about the Ohio River Vision and Strategic Plan website.

Do you feel restless from the tension between your dreams of what you think the Church could be and the reality of what your church experience is? You're not alone. In our conversation with Tim Soerens, author of Everywhere You Look: Discovering the Church right where you are, we talk about the importance of asking the question, "What is the Church for?" This hopeful and thoughtful episode has us looking forward to the future of the Church and how we all (not just pastors/leaders) have to daily ask "What is God doing here, right where I am, and what's my role in this?"

The Church is and should be a vital part of the community. Its collective impact should be seen and felt by everyone. But as we explored in previous episodes, the stats show that currently isn't the case. So what can we do? In this episode, we want to discuss communication within your church. As our team comes from a Church Communications background, we talk about how everything you say, do, and even how you decorate communicates something. We also share some pretty bad (but funny) communication fails when we worked for our churches. We want to help! Part of our job is listening to the needs and dreams of churches and church leaders. If you want our thoughts or help with your specific church and what it communicates, reach out to us! We'd love to connect with you at connect@forevansville.org

71% of Americans have a positive opinion of Jesus, while 47% of Americans have a positive opinion Churches in their community. What's the disconnect? Since our mission is to advance human flourishing through the Church - this stat from the Barna Group really stood out to us. Why don't people have a positive opinion of Churches? What can the Church do about it? What can we do about it? Do our churches not reflect Jesus? All these questions led our team to turn the podcast mics on and hash it out. We want you to join in the conversation - so head on over to instagram or youtube and let us know what you think - what could help change people's opinion of churches?

Earlier this year, the U.S Surgeon General released a report titled "Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation." Isolation seems like a problem for individuals, but it actually affects every aspect of our community. In this episode, the For Evansville Staff sat down to discuss points in the report we found relevant to our work. We wanted to answer the questions: 1. What can our listeners do about it? 2. What can the local Church do about it? 3. And how to change the question from "How do we get people connected?" to "How can we get people to connect with each other?" Show notes: U.S Surgeon General's Report: "Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation."

"When you bring people together around food, you create community - you create love." Our guest this week is Robin Mallery, former Executive Director of ⁠Urban Seeds⁠. Her passion is food. Not just eating it, but bringing food justice into our community. That can mean a lot of different things - so she helps us unpack ideas from seasonal eating to local farmers to fighting for food equality for people whose nearest food source is a gas station. A flourishing person and a flourishing city has access to healthy foods, so if we want to make Evansville a place where everyone flourishes, we have to look at the healthy food gaps in our area.

Sometimes we hear stories happening in Evansville that we had no idea were happening. So we bring in the people involved to share them with you. This episode is no exception as we sit down with Sergeant Josh Brewer and Officer Mario Reid. They're involved with a number of programs in our community like mental health, homelessness, and addiction. Together they sit down and talk about the idea of Community Policing - what is it, who is involved, and does it work?

"If we know our neighbors better, think how much stronger our community would be." - Mayor Winnecke When you have a podcast about being for Evansville, it's pretty much #goals to get the Mayor of Evansville on.

For Evansville has a strong history of uniting the Church for the flourishing of the city. Last year, 81% of Church leaders we surveyed said they began addressing a community need because of For Evansville. 53% said they did so in collaboration with another church. Now we're adopting an even more focused and hands-on approach to advancing human flourishing through the Church. We see this updated vision, mission, and strategic plan as a more focused expression of the change we've been pursuing from the beginning and the natural next step for For Evansville. In this episode, Jonathan Boettcher, Sarah Inman, and the For Evansville Board Chair, John Benton, talk about where this new language came from, and how we hope to pursue it within our city in this exciting future.

"We believe that to be a good, valued member of the community, we can't just sell pizza. We have to give back. We have to contribute in ways that are tangible and make a difference." In 2021, Evansville voted for Azzip as not only the best pizza in town, but also the best business that gives back. We're always looking to celebrate and share stories of people and organizations that are for Evansville. As personal fans, we wanted to sit down with Andy Niemeier, Co-CEO of Azzip, and talk about their continually growing reputation. Not surprisingly, we were met with a story about the mutual relationship between the community and a local business.  #azzip #pizza #Evansville #community #business #supportlocal #eatlocal #localbusiness #innovation #employeedevelopment

"We're not going to change their life. We're going to give them tools to change their own life." Have you ever noticed that you see homeless men a lot more than homeless women? Yet on any given day, Evansville averages about 300 homeless men and 200 homeless women. Why don't we see them? In this episode, we sit down with Katrinka, the campaign manger for the future Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children. We talk about everything from why we don't see women and children as often as the men, what wrap-around care for women looks like, and who needs to get involved to make it work.

If you're a parent, grandparent, caretaker or involved with kids in any way, you know Evansville has a child care problem. And the problem is multi-dimensional - lack of child care workers, high prices, high turnover rates, etc. It seems like a reoccurring theme at this point. Almost every guest we have points to early childhood development as the starting point of many issues in our community. So in this episode, we sit down with Aleisha Sheridan, the President and CEO of Building Blocks to talk about the accessibility, affordability and quality of early childhood care. Why is it so important, what are the barriers our city faces, and what can we do about it?

We like to say Evansville is an ecosystem of neighbors. When people struggle, our whole city struggles. In this episode we look at the two systems of Affordable Housing and Education. Beth Folz, the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity and Sheila Huff, the Director of Strategic Engagement at EVSC discuss how unstable housing affects education and how education affects the perception of the housing crisis. In short, we all need to be more educated and empathetic when it comes to these complex issues.

“We want to make a bunch of money and give a bunch of money away.” In this episode, we are joined by the CEO Ben Schmidt, and HR Director Ryan Nunn of CrossPoint Polymer Technologies. They share their heart for valuing every person that works for their company, regardless of their role, position, or background through open communication and mutual respect. But they don't stop there. They ask their employees what kind of impact they want to have in their community, not just their job, and discovered there was a common denominator amongst their employees to support Evansville's kids. This inspired them to reach out to local schools, develop trust and partnerships to meet tangible needs to help students and teachers to be successful.

Our State of E Report is here! In this episode, we sit down with John Benton, the Director of Cradle to Career Continuum at Dream Center Evansville and a lover of all things stats and data. It's because of his hard work compiling all the data for us that the report exists. Together, we discuss the overarching themes, what stood out to us, and honestly, what made us cry. We've taken our findings and summarized it into five areas of opportunity. They represent some of the most crucial building blocks to a flourishing life. If a person or family struggles in one of these areas, they will likely face a number of significant challenges. Likewise, when we work to better our city in these five areas, we empower people and families to pursue stability and flourishing for themselves and for Evansville. Over the next few months, we'll deep dive into each area of opportunity.
