S2E7 - Ripe Takeover PSU Abington - March '23

Ripe Takeover PSU Abington - March '23 In this episode, Scott is joined by Jarrett, Estee, AVG, and Rashid Saint-Fleur to talk about the “Ripe Takeover” concert we hosted at Penn State Abington on Friday, March 31st. The event was a massive joint effort including 18 different people within Ripe Creatives.  The opportunity was made possible through partnering with the ISFB of PSU Abington and the ACF college ministry group which falls under the leadership of CCO.  The episode begins with Rashid sharing about his time as a student at PSU Abington and the role of his campus minister, Ray Weisen, in helping to give vision to the idea of doing a Ripe Creatives concert on campus.   We shift gears to hear from Estee about building out the house band team for the event and giving a ton of love to Jason Weatherbe specifically who stepped up to drum. From there we chat with Jarrett about the overall set-up and bringing in one of his friends to help with the day of the show on the tech side.  Towards the middle of the conversation we go through each of the 8 Artist sets one by one: giving love to each of the Ripe Music Artists and Ripe Poets who performed. We center a bit on AVG’s set and also things he saw relating to the other Ripe Poetry sets as well.  Toward the end of the episode, we share about some of the outcomes from the event including words shared by specific students to our team. Scott wraps it all up with some perspective about how to best navigate throwing a Jesus-centered/focused event while maintaining partnerships and relationships within a collegiate environment like PSU. It was a great episode & we hope you enjoy!  To receive text notifications for each release of this podcast text "Time is Ripe" to: 215-273-3540 and click the link to save your contact.  To Support Ripe Creatives and all that we do, including this podcast, visit https://www.ripecreatives.com/ Song: "won't let go" by Rashid Saint-Fleur
