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.

Episode 11
This Advent at Open Table, we are working on a series called "Reflecting the Sacred" in which we are contemplating the many ways that the Divine is reflected (and refracted) in our lives, our world, and each other. So to that end, we are going to be releasing conversations with some of our partners over the next few weeks talking about the ways that they see the divine reflected in their lives.
First up is the Rev. Cean James, pastor of Salt and Light Church in Southwest Philly and our Associate Conference Minister for Congregational Development. Cean is a dreamer, a fighter, and a fierce advocate who believes that God is up to something new and subversive in our times. We talked about the future of the Church, the irresistible call of Christ, and the surprising ways that God works on the margins. It's a great conversation, and we think you will love it.

This is part two of a two-part series in which the Pastors Jackson tell the stories of their own journeys of faith. Today is all about Nichole, and her lifelong process of discovering her voice and learning to own her calling. Nichole's spirituality is embodied within her faith community and has plenty of room to grow.

Episode 9
This is part one of a two-part series in which the Pastors Jackson tell the stories of their own journeys of faith. Today is all about Zack and the often-painful path he took from dogmatic Christian Fundamentalist to Scientifically-Minded Christian Mystic. Buckle up. It's not a straight road, and its littered with reluctant deconstruction, cringey blog posts, hard-fought wisdom, and Amy Grant references!
