"A Civic Calling Reconsidered" with Reverend Audrey Hartness-Reese, Westminster, SC

from Community Catalysts · host Matt Lehrman

In the very first episode of Community Catalysts, Audrey Hartness-Reese—who serves both as a City Councilmember and as Pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Westminster, South Carolina—shared how her calling to ministry led her into civic leadership. Today, she returns to the podcast with a deeply personal update, recorded live and in person at the annual conference of the Municipal Association of South Carolina (MASC) in Hilton Head. What happens when two callings begin to pull in different directions? And how do you know when it's time to step back from public service, even when the work still matters? With grace, honesty, and deep conviction, Audrey opens up about navigating the tensions between faith and governance—and the courage it takes to let go.   LINKS Ask a Question or Leave a Comment:  602-688-2724 Send Matt a Note:  [email protected]  Apply to Be a Podcast Guest:  Click Here     Follow on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn Produced by Social Prosperity Partners
