Disrupt Church: the podcast

The models of church we’ve been using aren’t working. Churches are shrinking, people are disconnecting, our membership is aging, and there are serious questions about our relevance in the world. It’s time for us to rethink how we do everything. Stripping us down to our mission, to the WHY rather than the HOW, can we rebuild our churches into vibrant, covenanted communities that can think outside our traditional boxes?

Join Rev. Peggy Clarke, Senior Minister, and Jil Novenski, Director of Religious Education for Children and Youth at the Community Church of New York for informal, unstructured, joyful, and radically honest conversations about what's working, what's not, and how we can embrace change in times of uncertainty.

Roots to Leaves: Season 2

On this season of the Roots to Leaves podcast, Rev. Jude Geiger is joined by co-host Brother Zachary Stevens-Walter to get deeper into Unitarian Universalist values and principles.

Rev. Jude, who was raised in the Catholic tradition and ordained in the UU faith, and Brother Zachary, who was not raised Catholic but is now an ordained priest in the Franciscan Order, bring their own unique perspectives to the table, producing thoughtful and thought-provoking discussions about shared values and diverging theologies and practices. We hope you enjoy the journey!

Hope & Heresy:
Life on the Religious Left

Hope & Heresy: Life on the Religious Left is a podcast hosted by Reverend Peggy Clarke (Community Church of New York) and Reverend Sarah Lenzi (Unitarian Society of Ridgewood, NJ). It is meant for everyday people who want to live meaningfully without letting arbitrary doctrine or oppressive religious practice prevent us from asking big questions about our complicated world.

Rev'ing Up:
Answering the Call of Liberal-Religious Leadership

Rev'ing Up is meant to serve as a container to explore the intersectionalities of life, ministry, and professional clergy formation from the perspective of three Unitarian-Universalist intern ministers.
