Porch Talk with Father Aaron
Porch Talk with Father Aaron
Podcast Description
Welcome! Here we have conversations where the Christian faith interacts (or intersects) with topics found outside of the typical, safe church environment. We wanted to address the question: "What happens when a priest talks with people of the community about topics that are important to them, but not necessarily what you might hear Sunday morning?" Our church porch (or patio) was designed to facilitate these meaningful and authentic conversations, so we called this "Porch Talk." Join us!

Fr. Aaron speaks with Dr. Virginia Mayer who founded Living Waters Counseling (https://www.lwcounseling.net/) in Headland, Alabama, along with Kingdom College (https://www.kingdomcollege.net/) in the same town. ”Ginger” had recently published a book ”Modern-Day Sandcastles: The Fall of Denominationalism.” While we didn't agree on all points, we were able to find common ground regarding the hope that Christians will seek unity where they can to stand against forces arrayed against the cause of Christ in the world. One point we could definitely agree on was that, for all the messiness of human organizations, which the Church certainly is, God takes inexplicable pleasure in using humans, flawed as we are, to perform His work in the world.
