Podcast appearances and mentions of Stan Mitchell

Send us a textIn this deeply moving and provocative episode of The Harvest Sarasota Podcast, guest speaker Stan Mitchell challenges centuries of inherited theology by reframing the story of Eve not as the origin of sin but as the beginning of shame. With tenderness, wit, and piercing insight, Stan invites listeners to see Genesis 3 through new eyes: what if humanity's greatest fall wasn't disobedience but disconnection from our own belovedness?Through a powerful retelling of Eve's story and a hauntingly beautiful story about his daughter, Stan exposes how shame, not sin, remains the true barrier between us and the divine. This conversation will unsettle, heal, and ultimately reawaken your sense of inherent worth.Listen in and rediscover a gospel that heals rather than condemns, a gospel where we were never truly separated from Love.#HarvestSarasota #StanMitchell #Podcast #FaithDeconstructed #Genesis3 #HealingFromShame #SpiritualGrowth #Belovedness #GraceNotGuilt #TheGospelOfLove Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

This week Founding Pastor/Pastor Emeritus Stan Mitchell talked about what is, arguably, the single most important shift in Christian thinking in the past two+ centuries: the move away from Inherent Separation (meaning the idea that we are born separated from God) as our starting point, and the shift toward Inherent Union (meaning that we are born connected in and to God).

Send us a textWhat if the deepest wound in the human soul isn't sin—but shame?In this stirring message, we dive into one of the most radical shifts in Christian thought in two thousand years: moving from a doctrine of inherent separation from God to a vision of inherent union with God.With raw honesty, the sermon wrestles with the Garden story, the cross, and the very heart of the gospel. What if salvation is not about clawing our way back to a God who left us, but awakening to the truth that God never left? What if our shame, not our sin, is the lie that keeps us hiding in the bushes?This episode doesn't just challenge centuries of teaching—it offers healing. It dares us to imagine a Christianity that begins not with fear, but with belovedness. A faith not obsessed with fixing what's “wrong,” but resting in the God who has been with us all along.If you've ever carried the weight of religious shame or wondered if you were ever truly “safe” with God, this conversation liberate your soul.#HarvestSarasota #FaithWithoutFear #AlwaysSafeInGod #InherentUnion #HealingFromShame #DeconstructingFaith #ProgressiveChristianity #LoveGodLovePeople #MessyFaith #SpiritualJourney #GoodNewsGospel #FaithNotFear #stanmitchell Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Several years ago our Founding Pastor, Stan Mitchell, led us through a conversation called “GracePointe 101” that explored our growing understanding of the Bible, God, Jesus, and Church. Beginning this weekend we will build on that work and continue the conversation. because our understanding of the faith journey is that it is always unfinished, unfolding, and in-progress.This week we began with the Bible. What is the Bible? Does it still matter for us today? How can we approach it with both reverence and reason? Listen in as Josh leads us in that conversation!⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/about-us

Send us a textIn this soul-shaking, unapologetic episode of the Harvest Sarasota Podcast, Pastor Stan Mitchell delivers a raw and redemptive message that strips away the polite pretenses of church tradition and dives deep into the radical inclusivity of the Gospel. With the storytelling brilliance of a weathered preacher and the urgency of a prophet, Mitchell walks us through John 9—not as a theological text, but as a living, breathing cry for justice, belonging, and visibility.Mitchell doesn't merely preach; he exposes the wounds of religion, the pain of families divided by doctrine, and the betrayal felt by those cast out by the very institutions that claimed to love them. He elevates the story of the blind man healed by Jesus as a holy mirror, reflecting the experience of countless LGBTQ+ individuals who have been seen as problems instead of people. The message is piercing: Jesus saw a person. His followers saw a theological issue.This episode is not just for the deconstructed or the disenfranchised. It's for every parent caught between church and child. Every pastor afraid to step into the full light of truth. Every listener longing to know if there's still a place called home where healing isn't questioned and identity isn't up for debate.If you've ever been told your story doesn't fit inside the church—this episode will tell you otherwise. This is not just a conversation. It's a commissioning. A wake-up call. A reintroduction to a Jesus who still turns around and comes looking for the ones left behind.**"You're not tolerated here," Mitchell declares. "You're celebrated."

My friend and mentor Pastor Stan Mitchell (familiar with and friend to Latter-day Saints) joins us to share his story of his changed heart/perspective about LGBTQ people that occurred during his ministry at Grace Point Church in Nashville. Stan (who attended Latter-day Saint services as a youth causing him to reframe his view of Jesus from vengeful to loving) talks about teachings of Jesus to love/support/accept LGBTQ folks—accept/validate their pain—and be open to what we can do better to support these good folks. Stan talks about his work with Christian parents who deeply love their queer kids, their Christian beliefs, and want what is best for their kids. He offers suggestions on how to navigate this road. Stan also talks directly to our queer friends to help them feel more love, acceptance, and hope for their future—and a plea for those considering suicide to stay. Stan brings his strong theological insights, soft heart, and 1000's of visits with people walking this road to help others. Thank you, Stan, for your work in many faith traditions to help us better love and support our queer friends. You work has helped me. Thank you for being on the podcast.

Between the crucifixion and the resurrection, there was a silent Saturday of uncertainty and fear. And many of us experience that same kind of season when we begin to deconstruct our theologies. Today, GracePointe's founding pastor Stan Mitchell reminds us that it's OK to miss what we've left behind and to still feel the effects of the wounds we've received in the past. He also encourages us to not become so callused that we leave acceptance and hope behind, and he reminds us to think about the things we stand for, not just what we're against.  Episode Recap: Communities like GracePointe are a powerful space for deconstruction (0:10) Have we replaced one form of narrowness for another?

The GracePointe of 20 years ago may look radically different than GracePointe today, but this community has always existed to create space for growth and deconstruction. Today, lead pastor Josh Scott and founding pastor Stan Mitchell celebrate GracePointe's 20th anniversary by reflecting about the past, present, and future of GracePointe. Stan also explains how GracePointe fits into a larger history of progressivism that's built into the fabric of Christianity.  Episode Recap: Today we're celebrating 20 years of GracePointe with founding pastor Stan Mitchell (0:10) The tradition of Christianity is inherently progressive (6:02) GracePointe is a space designed for deconstruction (12:22) GracePointe exists as a fully affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community (16:49) People need to know that communities like GracePointe are possible (26:21) If Christianity does not mature, it needs to die (32:02) Resources: Learn more about GracePointe Check out our schedule of upcoming events Become a sustaining member of the GracePointe community Follow GracePointe on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook

Today, GracePointe's founding pastor Stan Mitchell explains how empathic curiosity can help us deepen our connection with other humans and have more grace for ourselves and others.

Sharing about the woman at the well, out of John 4, Stan talked about how Jesus always has a way of cutting through pretense to the heart of the matter.

Not gonna lie I was a bit rusty on the production side of the house this week but, we are back on That's Criminal with John Stamp! I hope you guys had as much fun as I did over the holiday. December was a blur. Took the wee babes to the Big Island of Hawaii, and just like I did the first time I went there long ago, Red Five and the Big Guy did not want to come back. Three out of the four of us were all in favor of putting up a tent on the beach and never leaving. Thankfully, the brains of the outfit, the lovely wife Erica, talked us back to the mainland. So, I'm back, had enough fun last year that I decided to talk to a bunch more really interesting people.

It ultimately is all about people."(19:09) - Stan Mitchell"If you have a common language across the world, across all those countries and organizations, that provides facility management services to their people... then we have, we've got a common way to move forward."(21:21) - Randy Olson"If it's all about people, can we create a standard about how FM affects people and how people affect our ability to deliver FM."(25:48) - Stan Mitchell

“In the most general sense, faith deconstruction begins with people realizing that the answers they possess are answers they have memorized that were achieved or developed by other people or authority figures…they were not their own answers. The demand of deconstruction is not that you find different answers, though often that happens, but that you ask the questions and find out for yourself.” Questions about faith are often unnerving...for those asking them, and for those hearing them.   When those we love ask hard questions, the temptation is to give someone an answer to hold onto rather than to sit with them as they find the answer themselves.  The church simply must make space for the process of asking hard questions and discovering answers.  We were able to sit down again with our friend Stan Mitchell to talk about faith questions and what it's like to walk the road of faith deconstruction.  Stan is the founding Pastor of GracePointe Church  in Nashville, TN and is a leader of an online community called Everybody Church.  We discuss with Stan why asking spiritual questions is a healthy practice that ultimately leads to a deeper faith formation if we are willing to do the work of walking the journey.

We are excited to share our conversation with Stan Mitchell with you on Finding Free Podcast! This episode is a must-listen for our community. Stan is Co-Founder of Everybody Church, an online community created as a haven for anyone feeling spiritually homeless, but specifically as a place of inclusion and affirmation for those in the LGBTQ+ community who have been harmed and ostracized by the local church. He spends a lot of his time now working with families and churches as they navigate how the Bible supports affirmation and love of individuals regardless of their sexuality. As Craig and I studied the Bible with respect to LGBTQ+ inclusion, we found it so helpful to listen to other voices that were focused on the Biblical text and true to the message and life of Jesus. Stan has been one of those voices. His depth of knowledge and scriptural wisdom, coupled with his ability to clearly communicate that message, helped us navigate our path from a traditional/literal theology to an inclusive way of looking at scripture. We are so glad you can join in on our conversation and know that Stan will be one of those voices for you as well.

He chairs the British Institute of Facilities Management and the British Standards Institution Facilities Management Committee. In this episode… With businesses worldwide reopening or planning to reopen since the COVID-19 lockdown, the role of the facilities manager has become increasingly critical. In this new world, they face fresh challenges: how do they give people the confidence to come back into the workplace? How do they demonstrate professionalism and thoroughness in keeping facilities safe?  Now that the facilities manager's role is more than routine maintenance and cleaning activity, what other ways can they help keep workspaces safe?  Listen to this episode of Watching Paint Dry podcast with Greg Owens as he interviews Stan Mitchell of Key Facilities Management International. They spoke about what a facility manager's role looks like today, how it is changing, what to expect, and more.

Guys, I’m trying not to be hyperbolic with how I describe this conversation, and the man I had it with… Stan Mitchell has been someone I’ve looked up to as a pastor for the last few years, someone that I’ve texted back and forth with countless times—trying to navigate frustrating situations at church and new ideas we’re dreaming about, and this episode today is the first actual conversation we've had over the phone. We talked for nearly 2 hours, and it’s here, unedited, unfiltered, for you to listen in on.    It’s unfortunately rare to come across progressive Christian leaders that have scripture memorized, and a deep love of the tradition—which he claims has always been progressive, from the moment the story began.    We talk about hell, universalism, the future of megachurches, social media’s beauty and downfalls, and he hits me with a half-dozen moments of personal conviction that I’ll likely listen back to a hundred times.   If you’re on Facebook, please find Stan Mitchell and follow his posts. I’m thrilled to have made a new friend in him, and I know we’ve got a lot of work to do together in the coming years.    This week’s episode is brought to you by our sponsor—calling your old friends. This is something I’ve started doing again over the last 2-3 months. I’ll go for a walk in the evening, scroll through my contacts on my phone, see a name I haven’t seen in a long time, and then just calling them. 75% of the time they don’t answer, I leave a voicemail—typically thanking them for something I love about them, and then immediately call the next name that pops into my head. When there’s no agenda other than just saying “hi,” there’s nothing to prepare or overthink… It’s free and reminds you of all the people that have played significant roles in your life over the years.    So that’s this week’s sponsor: Calling your old friends. Try it. I dare you.   And without further adieu, here’s today’s conversation:
