Off the Beaten Pulpit

About Off the Beaten Pulpit

Welcome to the Off the Beaten Pulpit—where we preach Gospel, plant sequoias, and practice resurrection 🌱 Hosted by pastors Jeremy Spainhour (Crossroads Neighborhood Church) and Daniel Frederick (The Refuge Church)—with plenty of Wendell Berry along the way. This podcast is devoted to sermon reviews and previews, meandering tangents in theology and life and literature, a weekly "offerings" segment that features highlights from books or poems or the arts, and a “You Asked for It” segment that brings questions from our congregations into the dialogue. Have a question? Send it to offpulpit@gmail.com, and we’ll be glad to take it up in future episodes and and include it among the clips we post here. Cheers 🍻
