Reimagining Faith with the Pastors Jackson

Nichole and Zack Jackson are the pastors of Open Table UCC in Pottstown, PA. We left our separate churches in May of 2022 to plant a new faith community that is theologically progressive, Pottstown focused, with Jesus at the center. We want to unpack what all that means while also giving you an inside-look into the messiness of starting a new church. We’re going to talk to some incredible difference-makers while taking a deep dive into matters of justice, equality, and the revolutionary stories within the Christian scriptures.

    OK... Now What?

    Episode 28 Many of us are reeling after the November 5th election, and we're not sure what to do. We at Open Table try to stay above the fray of partisan politics, but this goes beyond politics. If you're feeling lost, scared, sad, angry, confused, or anything like that, then this episode is for you. We have no easy answers for you today, just raw and open honesty. We talk elections, response to pain, psychologizing others, the wisdom God's restorative justice, and what comes next.  If you need to talk to someone, please reach out at [email protected] or come hang out with us any Sunday morning at 10 am at the Steel River Playhouse (245 E High St, Pottstown, PA 19464) or online at https://www.opentablepottstown.com/live. --------------- Follow us at... https://www.facebook.com/OpenTablePottstown/ https://www.instagram.com/opentablepottstown/ https://twitter.com/opentablepotts Please consider supporting this work financially as well and get a number of great perks in the process at... https://www.patreon.com/reimaginingfaith

    What is God and How Do You Know You Have the Right One?

    Episode 27 We're back answering another listener question. This one is.... tricky.    "What is God and how do you know you have the right one?"   So join us as we attempt to explain the indescribable while also holding onto what we know, experientially, to be true for us. Is God a "who" or a "what"? Is God a force or a being? Is God good or indifferent? Is Jesus really God, and if so, what about all the other gods? How can you explain what you cannot know, and how can you experience what you cannot explain? Let's talk about it!    If you would like to ask a question to be answered on the podcast, please leave a comment or send an email to [email protected].  Join us for Sunday worship services at the Steel River Playhouse (245 E High St, Pottstown, PA 19464) at 10am or online at https://www.opentablepottstown.com/live. --------------- Follow us at... https://www.facebook.com/OpenTablePottstown/ https://www.instagram.com/opentablepottstown/ https://twitter.com/opentablepotts Please consider supporting this work financially as well and get a number of great perks in the process at... https://www.patreon.com/reimaginingfaith

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Nichole and Zack Jackson are the pastors of Open Table UCC in Pottstown, PA. We left our separate churches in May of 2022 to plant a new faith community that is theologically progressive, Pottstown focused, with Jesus at the center. We want to unpack what all that means while also giving you an inside-look into the messiness of starting a new church. We’re going to talk to some incredible difference-makers while taking a deep dive into matters of justice, equality, and the revolutionary stories within the Christian scriptures.
