In this delightfully sprawling new episode of Church Potluck, the "Core Four" reunite for a free-flowing conversation filled with laughter, deep reflection, and summer updates. Host Dale McConkey kicks things off by officially announcing his retirement as a United Methodist pastor, sharing heartwarming stories from his farewell sermon and his new children's book, The Little Church That Could. Joined by Michael Bailey, Christy Snider, and Michael Papazian, the group celebrates each other's summer adventures and votes on “Who Won the Summer” in classic potluck style.
True to its name, Church Potluck then serves up a smorgasbord of topics: the theological and emotional question of whether pets go to heaven, a gripping 19th-century Methodist murder trial, and a provocative new federal memo encouraging religious expression in the workplace. With plenty of laughter, deep thought, and spirited discussion, this episode captures the essence of what Church Potluck is all about—variety, authenticity, and the rich nourishment of shared conversation.
