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.

When Faith Falls Apart Part 2
Thursday Aug 15, 2024
Thursday Aug 15, 2024
Episode 25
Last week, we answered a listener question about deconstruction, and it didn't quite feel like we were done, so we invited the person who asked the question in the first place to come and share her story. Today, we welcome Jess Clemmer and Laura Johnson as they share their own personal stories about when faith falls apart, and what they rebuilt in its place. It's a funny, vulnerable, insightful story that is still unfolding today.

Nichole and Zack are back with a new series based on your questions. We don't promise any definitive answers, but we hope to make space for you to explore your own journey more freely and honestly. Today's question comes from Facebook and it reads...
"What are your thoughts on the massive number of people deconstructing from Christianity, and what does it look like for people still in the church to maintain relationship and connection to those that are leaving?"

Episode 23
Nichole and Zack are back with new episodes and a plan to bring you new content in addition to the weekly sermons. Next time, we'll be starting on a series of Q&A episodes, but this week, we want to talk about the issue of homelessness. This is a huge issue in Pottstown, and with the recent Supreme Court decision, it's only going to get more important to be informed and prepared. We talk about the the root causes of homelessness, potential solutions, and why the Church shouldn't ignore politics.
