Unison Church Podcast
by Michael Shawn Carbaugh II
We are interested in all things theological, pastoral, philosophical, and, honestly, just fun! We're a diverse podcast that offers curious conversations that interact with a diverse group of people and topics. Our focus is to see God's people united under our allegiance to Christ to worship Him with one voice.Unison Church is a church plant in progress. Through the physical location and distinct service times don't exist yet, Unison Church is beginning as an online initiative to call the church to be united to one another, and even more so, to be united to Christ. It's time to throw away the pretense of religion, and the ritualistic dogmas that have dominated the American idea of Christianity for decades. Instead it's time to commit to following Jesus with every part of our life. It's time to unite together to worship His name with one voice.
