[Yesterday 1:11 PM] Abby Burg Podcast description:We've been talking as a church about spiritual gifts and living out your purpose. But, on that journey of discovery, there can sometimes be stumbling blocks along the way. Maybe you think you're too old or too young, too inexperienced or too experienced in the wrong ways. Or maybe your stumbling block is that you're a woman and you're not sure how that jives with serving in a leadership role in the church. Join Abby and Kory as they talk with guests Steph O'Brien (pastor of Mill City Church here in the Twin Cities) and Jo Anne Lyon (General Superintendent Emerita of the Wesleyan Church) about being a woman in leadership in the church and why both men and women are needed to carry out the mission Jesus has given us.
Aaron Stern is the pastor of Mill City Church in Fort Collins, Colorado and asks the question, "How do I care for people and their various (sometimes opposing) opinions without carrying how they feel?" Join the conversation on how to navigate your own story in the midst of disappointing others as Chris and Beth share about 3 key letters that change it all.Walking With is a product of ReStory Labs, the digital laboratory of Restoration Counseling.

On this episode, Stephanie Williams O'Brien, Co-lead Pastor of Mill City Church in Minneapolis, MN, tells about being a church that meets in a local school and the creative partnerships they've formed to address the needs of local students. The non-profit, The Sheridan Story, formed by the church has now grown from an individual church initiative to a replicable model being implemented by churches across the Twin Cities to serve the students of local schools. She highlights the value of seeing their church as supportive actors in the story God is already telling on the ground in the local community. She suggests that God's vision is often far bigger than those we have in mind ourselves.
