Podcast appearances and mentions of brandon carleton

In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Carleton, one of the visionary bakers behind Blue Spruce Bakery General Store, the only sourdough bakery in the Quad Cities area.

Owner and founder of Blue Spruce General Store in the Quad Cities, Brandon Carleton, sat down on the "QC, That's Where" Podcast and reminisced on his journey of entrepreneurship. As he was thinking back on some of the creative endeavors, he said, "I'm learning more and more that there are some things you just don't have to ask permission for, you can just go do it."That simple realization has led him to operating a bakery that started with a bread subscription service to a full-blown brick and mortar bakery, deli and grocery items. Carleton's business continues to grow as he and his teammates say "yes" to each other's ideas, go through trial and error and forge ahead with open minds.Blue Spruce General Store is open in Davenport, Iowa with plans to expand into Rock Island, Illinois. #VisitQuadCities #QCRestaurantWeek #Bakery #Foodie

Brandon Carleton, owner of Blue Spruce General Store, joins hosts to talk about his brand new, downtown Davenport location. Tune in to learn how the bakery evolved into a general store, the products offered, including baked-fresh-daily bread, pastry items, groceries, and lunch, and how Brandon made his dreams a reality with the help of a small business loan through the City of Davenport.

He is a community organizer from Rock Island, IL, where he lives with his wife and son.

After years of deconstructing, then reconstructing his beliefs, he began to ask questions like: Is there a way to cut through religious dogma and create authentic community? What would it look like to lead from a position of not having all the answers? This contemplative book offers hope to anyone who has felt excommunicated from a traditional faith system. Through stories of trial and error, Brandon Carleton presents a different approach to faith, pastoring, and ultimately, how to find religion

Pastor & author Brandon Carleton joins me today, and shares his powerful story of deconstruction and reconstruction - with a very unique perspective. Brandon left traditional church, but still felt a call to explore spiritual community. So he  planted a church with his wife, but a church with a difference.  Unlike other pastors, Brandon actually tells his members not to come if it's not for them. He puts no obligation, no guilt, no commitment on people to attend - instead of prioritising the good of the church, he prioritises people's individual journey, their needs, their welfare, over that of the church itself. The church exists to serve its members, not the other way around.  Brandon and I discuss our own experiences of traditional evangelical Christianity and church, and find shared lessons from our respective journeys of deconstruction and reconstruction, and facing mental illness. We also discuss the humanity of Jesus, and what that tells us about his divine nature - and we find that there may well be hope yet for spiritual community.  Brandan's memoir "Meaningful Again" is available on Amazon now.

After growing up religious and then leaving his faith behind, Pastor Brandon Carleton started to feel like he was throwing the baby out with the bathwater. After years of deconstructing, then reconstructing his beliefs, he began to ask questions like: Is there a way to cut through religious dogma and create authentic community? What would it look like to lead from a position of not having all the answers? What if much of what we are so often taught about the Bible is only one of many ways to interpret the text? This vulnerable and contemplative book offers hope to anyone who has felt excommunicated from a traditional faith system. Through stories of trial and error, Brandon Carleton presents a different approach to faith, pastoring, and ultimately, how to find religion meaningful again. www.meaningfulagain.com Support us on Patreon! | www.patreon.com/notyourpastors Twitter, Facebook, Instagram | @notyourpastors Email: notyourpastorspodcast@gmail.com Music: Intro: Bringing Down Broadway Break: “Something Elated” by Broke For Free Outro: “Enthusiast” by Tours --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/notyourpastors/message

We often only interact with the idea of people, who we expect them to be, instead of interacting with who they truly are. [Brandon Carleton]

DIFFRINT is a quarterly event where artists and storytellers use their crafts to tackle difficult topics. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Whitt talks to Brandon Carleton, the organizer of these events.

All too often, as a church, we ignore and supress many emotions that fly in the face of our Consumerism. Maybe instead we should embrace the way of Christ and embrace our suffering. [Episode by Brandon Carleton]

For the fourth week of Advent, we talk about how Culturalism, Competition, and Consumerism have trained us to love conditionally. [Episode by Brandon Carleton]

Many of us have been taught faith equals certainty. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Certainty may sometimes work in the short-term, but it ends up self-destructing in the long-term. Certainty is one thing. Trust is another. Jesus taught us to trust.

Brandon shares how God's been at work in the good, bad, or ugly of his life story.
