Story & Table Season 1 Now Available!

Story & Table, a new podcast from Pearl Church Pastor Mike Roth, exists to make connections between the stories that we tell and the tables that our stories sustain. Through a lens that is intentionally non-violent and non-dominion, Mike explores an ecology of Christian language that sets loving tables, around which humans are freed and inspired to flourish.

All episodes from Season One are now available to download on our website or on Apple Podcasts!

Antiracism: Consider Taking the IDI

For those of you who missed our discussion with Dr. Jenkins last Sunday, she introduced us to a personal development tool called the Intercultural Development Inventory, which provides insight into how each of us tends to respond in situations of cultural difference. As Dr. Jenkins mentioned, working against racism occurs at the societal, communal, and personal level. This is a tool that provides personal awareness and recommendations for you to develop your intercultural mindset as an individual. If you are interested in taking the IDI assessment yourself, you’re welcome to reach out to her directly. If you’d prefer to pursue the IDI with someone from Pearl Church, long-time Pearl member Abby Coppock is trained and certified on the IDI and is also willing to assist. Feel free to reach out directly to Abby. Please note, fees may apply.
