Kyle Armentrout-Steward | Church Outside the Church

from Sunken Press · host Cory Davenport and Nicole Gory

What happens when two people discarded by Christianity get into a conversation with a United Methodist pastor? If that pastor is Kyle Armentrout-Steward, then expectations are subverted.Kyle is trying to rebuild community in a way that isn’t tied to guilt, culture wars, or church politics. He discusses the failures of modern Christianity and calls back to early Christian roots of community churches meeting in unexpected locations. His congregation is meeting at The Conservatory (a bar in Alton, IL) every Sunday at 2 p.m. This one goes out to everyone who has ever found comfort in Christianity only to be harmed by folks who claimed they did it for Jesus.Click here for the full version on YouTube.For more information:https://www.confluencefc.org/https://www.facebook.com/confluencefaithcommunityhttps://rmnetwork.org/Mentioned in this episode:https://www.facebook.com/listentojoelhttps://www.theconservatory618.com/https://www.brianrecker.com/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0332375/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120655/https://sunkenpress.threadless.comhttps://www.patreon.com/sunkenpresshttps://sunkenpresspodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/sunkenpresspodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@sunkenpresspodcast This is a public episode.

On Totes Recall, our hosts Molly Chase, Beth Gibbs, Dan Jaquette and Dan Linden discuss the intricate details of a popular film. The catch? It's been years since they've watched it. Listen as they attempt to recap the plot, pull the names of secondary characters, and make bets whether a vat of acid appears at any point in the film. At halftime, they press the pause button, watch the film and return with answers. Did they nail it? Or, more likely, did they forget the entire second half of the movie? Listen and play along.
