S2 Ep1763: KEEP THE FAITH Beth Gelman with Reverand J.C. Pritchett ll

We tend to think of miracles as dramatic, headline moments. But what if they’re quieter than that? This week on Keep the Faith, host Beth Gelman sits down with the Reverend JC Pritchett to talk about faith, community, and how we stay human when the world feels heavy. It’s a thoughtful conversation about everyday courage and the kind of transformation that unfolds one day at a time.GUEST BIO The Reverend J.C. Pritchett II is a pastor, civic leader, and bridge-builder based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Since 2015, he has served as pastor of Faith Church and as President and CEO of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Florida, where he works to strengthen collaboration among faith communities and advance justice-focused initiatives across the region. Reverend Pritchett’s leadership extends beyond the pulpit. He has served on the St. Pete History Museum Board of Trustees, the Pinellas County Historic Preservation Board, the City of St. Petersburg’s Citizens Redistricting and Charter Review Commissions, and is currently the Executive Director of the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club.

A cantorial soloist, she has performed and taught liturgy and prayer in hundreds of churches, cathedrals, temples, synagogues, and educational institutions across the country, and has investigated a wide variety of spiritual and philosophical practices, from the well-known to the obscure.
