We've always heard that the two things we don't talk about at the dinner table are religion and politics, but in this episode of The Ferment we are going to talk about them both and how we navigate them as a unit…or don't. Featuring conversations with 8 different pastors spanning gender, racial, cultural and political divides, we hear the perspectives of just about every ideology that exists amongst people who study the Bible and love Jesus deeply. Up first is Shane Claiborne, a prominent speaker, activist and best-selling author who founded The Simple Way in Philadelphia and worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta. He is followed by David Englehardt, pastor of Kings' Church NYC in Manhattan and founder of Englehardt Law, and Rose Madrid Swetman, who is currently the Regional Leader for Vineyard USA in the Northwest Region and an Adjunct Professor and Moderator for the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. Next we hear from Montel Richardson, who pastors a 172-year-old historically black church in Campbellsville, KY and founder of the H.O.P.E. Project, which seeks to be of service to the community in practical ways. Parker Frey is a pastor at the Oxford Vineyard Church in Ohio, and Jason Coker is the Lead Pastor at the Oceanside Sanctuary in California, as well as a member of the Human Development faculty at Cal State San Marcos. Finally, we wrap up with Melody and Bud Winderweedle, pastors of Ekklesia Vineyard in Chattanooga, TN.   With such a diverse group of pastors, the conversations cover topics of pro-life vs. pro-birth, moral hierarchies and how they affect our priorities as Christians, the value of face-to-face conversations, how we navigate racial unrest and the beauty of practicing lament. This episode provides valuable opportunity for developing empathy and learning to love our brothers and sisters in Christ during an extremely polarizing season.   Shane Claiborne's website: https://www.shaneclaiborne.com David Englehardt's church – Kings' Church NYC: https://www.kcnyc.org/team Rose Madrird Swetman's website: http://rosemadridswetman.com/ Montel Richardson's website: https://montelrichardsonministries.org Parker Frey's church: https://www.oxfordvineyard.com Jason Coker's website: https://www.jasoncoker.net/about Melody and Bud Winderweedle https://ekklesiavineyard.com

Jason Coker is the national director of a program called Together We Hope, which is a rural development coalition that addresses poverty, especially in rural areas. He discusses (you guessed it) poverty in rural America: the history, the cause and how at the end of the day, it is political.

In honor of Suicide Prevention Month, Debo and David sit down with Reverend Dr. Jason Coker to talk about mental health. Dr. Coker recently released a new book, Faded Flowers: Preaching in the Aftermath of Suicide, about suicide and responding to pain as a church and as individuals. People deal with loss and pain in different ways, and Dr. Coker describes his own experience preaching in the aftermath of suicide.

This is the third and final part of this series based on the book, Surfing the Edge of Chaos. I’ve been talking with Jason Coker about the role of disequilibrium in regard to systems and organizations; specifically, that the experience of disequilibrium actually makes a system or organization stronger.And that goes for churches, as well, since churches are systems. When a church lingers for too long in a state of equilibrium—where everything is, y’know, fine—it actually becomes weaker and more at risk of dying. But when a church experiences disequilibrium—and is able to navigate that experience wisely—it becomes stronger, more resilient, and healthier.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Jason Coker shares how he is doing in light of current events, particularly the call for racial justice.The four principles of Surfing the Edge of Chaos are:Equilibrium is a precursor to death. When a living system is in a state of equilibrium, it is less responsive to changes occurring around it. This places it at maximum risk.In the face of threat, or when galvanized by a compelling opportunity, living things move toward the edge of chaos. This condition evokes higher levels of mutation and experimentation, and fresh new solutions are more likely to be found.When this excitation takes place, the components of living systems self-organize and new forms and repertoires emerge from the turmoil.Living systems cannot be directed along a linear path. Unforeseen consequences are inevitable. The challenge is to disturb them in a manner that approximates the desired outcome.Markus explains self-organization using the examples of dental plaque and Tupperware.Jason discusses the non-denominational movement of the 1960s and 1970s as an example of self-organization.As churches are unable to meet in person during the coronavirus, what kind of self-organizing is taking place now?Leaders have to step back and let go of control when self-organization begins to take place.Jason discusses Black Lives Matter as a movement that is unable to be controlled by more established black leaders.To be a strong leader is not necessarily to take control, but to refuse to take control.Jason shares how his church went through a two-year process of discernment that led his church to change their name from First Christian Church of Oceanside to Oceanside Sanctuary.Change happens “at first slowly” and then “all of a sudden.”RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Jason CokerOceanside SanctuaryBooks mentioned:Surfing the Edge of Chaos: The Laws of Nature and the New Laws of Business, by Richard T.

“The edge of chaos is a condition, not a location. It is a permeable, intermediate state through which order and disorder flow, not a finite line of demarcation. Moving to the edge of chaos creates upheaval but not dissolution. That’s why the edge of chaos is so important. The edge is not the abyss. It’s the sweet spot for productive change.”That’s a quote from Surfing the Edge of Chaos, which looks at organizations as “complex adaptive systems.” These systems—in order to remain healthy and vibrant—require periods of “disequilibrium.” Seasons when death seems to be knocking on the front door. And it is these seasons of disequilibrium and death that make the system stronger in the long run.In this episode, Jason Coker and I unpack the concepts of equilibrium and disequilibrium, and begin to look at his particular church and the role disequilibrium—and near death—played in his church's eventual revitalization.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Jason Coker is the pastor of Oceanside Sanctuary in Oceanside, California, and a lecturer at California State University, San Marcos.Human beings tend to prefer to live life in a state of equilibrium, when everything is safe and predictable.We need disequilibrium to grow and thrive.These concepts come from Surfing the Edge of Chaos: The Laws of Nature and the New Laws of Business, by Richard T. Pascale, Mark Milleman, and Linda Gioja.We prefer equilibrium over disequilibrium. But we need disequilibrium in order to grow and thrive.Surfing the Edge of Chaos uses the concept of “complex adaptive systems” as a way of thinking about how to navigate organizational challenges.In a state of equilibrium, the system is at its weakest.A system actually needs disequilibrium in order to thrive and grow and to become stronger and healthier.“Prolonged equilibrium dulls an organism’s senses and saps its ability to arouse itself appropriately in the face of danger.”Four principles (from Surfing the Edge of Chaos):Equilibrium is a precursor to death. When a living system is in a state of equilibrium, it is less responsive to changes occurring around it. This places it at maximum risk.In the face of threat, or when galvanized by a compelling opportunity, living things move toward the edge of chaos. This condition evokes higher levels of mutation and experimentation, and fresh new solutions are more likely to be found.When this excitation takes place, the components of living systems self-organize and new forms and repertoires emerge from the turmoil.Living systems cannot be directed along a linear path. Unforeseen consequences are inevitable. The challenge is to disturb them in a manner that approximates the desired outcome.Jason suggests that death is actually necessary.Markus and Jason discuss how Jason’s church experienced a long period of equilibrium before entering a period of severe disequilibrium in the 1970s, lasting all the way into the 2010s.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Jason CokerOceanside SanctuaryBooks mentioned:Surfing the Edge of Chaos: The Laws of Nature and the New Laws of Business, by Richard T.

Jason Coker, pastor of First Christian Church in Oceanside, California, shares about a ministry called Two Shirts. Even though it doesn’t exist anymore, it beautifully captures what God wants to do in the world—healing and wholeness for the whole world. Jason and I discuss this very creative ministry, Jason’s journey of discovering the gospel in a much bigger way than he had ever understood it before, and what it’s like to serve a congregation that includes homeless brothers and sisters. THIS EPISODE’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Brief description of the Oceanside, CA, community where Jason serves as the lead pastor of First Christian Church.How Jason came up with the idea for the Two Shirts ministry. It started in Columbus, OH.The Two Shirts concept is based on John the Baptist’s words in Luke 3:11: “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”Jason was convicted by the idea that the gospel is more than an idea. The gospel must be embodied.Two Shirts was a website where you could give things away or ask for something you need.An amazing story of a woman who posted that she needed a grandmother for her children.Unfortunately, Two Shirts never really took off in Southern California. It was hard to build the critical mass.Jason describes the gospel he grew up with–a gospel that is more about disembodied doctrines and ideas.How Jason came to the understanding that the gospel is about the restoration of all things and the fulfillment of shalom.First Christian Church in Oceanside includes homeless people in their congregation.“Embodying the gospel means to serve the least in our midst.”Someone described Jason’s church as having “quite the cast of characters.”FCC’s new mission statement: “To make disciples for the sake of the city who practice radical hospitality, create new expressions of faith, and minister wholeness in a fragmented world.”Jason describes the “ordinariness” of his work as a pastor. The majority of the church’s work is “unglamorous.” RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Jason Coker Twitter: @jasonacokerFirst Christian Church Oceanside Website: https://fccoceanside.org/Twitter: @fccoceansideDisciples of Christ denomination Website: https://disciples.org/To leave a review of Spiritual Life and Leadership: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spiritual-life-and-leadership/id1435252632— Links to Amazon are affiliate links.
