Caught in the Current (with Dr. Sam Reimer)

<p>Welcome to a special episode of Baptist Bridges, recorded live at Brock University during CBOQ Assembly’s Pastor’s Day! In this conversation, we’re joined by Dr. Sam Reimer, sociologist and author of <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Caught-Current-Canadian-Evangelicals-Self-Spirituality/dp/0228016967/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Caught in the Current: British and Canadian Evangelicals in an Age of Self-Spirituality</a>.</p><p>We dive into what’s happening in our culture, why people are “deconstructing” their faith, and how belonging might matter more than apologetics. Plus: the rise of the “nonvert,” why relationships are everything, and how the church can still be a place where people meet God—even if they don’t start by calling it that.</p><p>Whether you’re a pastor, parent, or just trying to make sense of the spiritual shifts around you, this one’s for you.</p>

Politics And The Pulpit (Re-Release)

<p>A few weeks ago, we released an episode of our podcast called &quot;The Politics and the Pulpit.&quot; With the current political realities happening around us, we felt it was timely to release this episode again. Our Executive Minister, Rev. Leanne Friesen, recorded a special message to start the episode for all of you leading in these days. Part of her message states:</p><p>&quot;Pivot from believing or suggesting that our hope will be found if we just get the right person &quot;on the throne.&quot; Christ is on the throne. Christ is the one we follow and in whom we place our hope. You are pastoring such challenging times and we are thankful for you. Know of our prayers for you. Know that you are seen, and do not underestimate the importance of your calling in this time and this place. Preach well, dear friends, and know that God is with you.&quot;  </p><p>In this episode of Baptist Bridges, Kevin Loten joins the conversation to explore the complexities of preaching in politically charged times. We discuss the challenges of addressing sensitive topics from the pulpit, maintaining the balance between spiritual guidance and political engagement, and respecting the diversity of opinions within congregations.</p><p>Whether you&#39;re a pastor, church leader, or someone interested in the intersection of faith and politics, this episode offers valuable insights for fostering unity in the midst of division.</p><p><strong>Connect with us</strong>:</p><p>• Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cboq/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@cboq⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>• Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cboqcommunity">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@cboqcommunity⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>• Website: <a href="baptist.ca">⁠⁠⁠⁠baptist.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Credits:</p><p>Host: Leanne Friesen</p><p>Guest: <a href="https://www.chartwellchurch.com/about/our-team">⁠Kevin Loten⁠</a></p><p>Recorded by: Josh Del Rosario &amp; Kristina Gummatova</p><p>Edited by: Josh Del Rosario</p>
