The Spiritually Adventurous Journey of Kent Dobson Parts 1 & 2

from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Fred Stella

I am blown away. Seriously. Here I am uploading these episodes from 2016 that I recorded with Rev. Kent Dobson, when I decide that it would be good to see what the man is up to today. I haven't been in much contact with him since then. Well, to my surprise, he is now the pastor of a church that is pretty much Unitarian-Universalist in everything thing but name. The congregation is called C3, and is located in Grand Haven, Michigan. You might wonder how a church gets a name that sounds like a brand. Well, originally it was Christ Community Church. But they no longer identify as Christian, so this suits them well. But the wild thing about this is that Kent is from what I term, "The 1st Family of the Evangelical Church" in West Michigan. His father was a lieutenant of Jerry Falwell in the Moral Majority. He was raised to follow in those footsteps. Kent then went on to pastor at Mars Hill Church, a very successful effort in the mode of the Emergent Church within Evangelical circles. I could go on, but you'll hear everything you need here. But as we conclude our 2nd episode you'll note that he is unsure of what his next step in life will be. Glad I found out. Theme music "Nigal."
