   Faithful Stewardship, Benefits & Investing for the Future Church

   What if the way we talk about retirement, healthcare, and money… is actually part of Discipleship and Evangelism? Today, we're going Beyond Sunday into the real lives of clergy and faith leaders navigating economic pressure, denominational change, and the call to keep showing up with courage and hope. My guests are Andy Hendren, CEO of Wespath, and Johara Farhadieh, COO of Wespath Institutional Investments and CIO of Wespath Benefits and Investments. We're talking about the intersection of benefits, investing, and the Church's witness and why this matters for the future of ministry.

   Re-Imagining Evangelism

   In this episode of The Beyond Sunday Podcast, Dr. Stephanie Moore Hand is joined by Rev. Ryan Hebel, ordained deacon and longtime pastor at The Gathering in St. Louis. With over 13 years of ministry experience ranging from Worship Pastor to Executive Director of Beyond A Network Ryan now serves as Church Planter and Site Pastor for The Gathering's new West County campus launching in 2026. Known for calling himself "hopelessly hopeful," Ryan brings a contagious vision for reimagining evangelism. Together, we explore how evangelism can move from being an afterthought to becoming a grace filled lifestyle for the church. You'll hear practical insights on how ordinary people can weave evangelism into everyday life, and why collaboration across churches, communities, and civic spaces is essential for embodying God's redeeming power. This conversation is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and challenge for anyone ready to reclaim evangelism as a way of life rooted in love, grounded in hope, and open to transformation.
