At the heart of this podcast is story. Vocare literally means call; and we'll go deep into the 'call stories' of folks who find themselves on the edges of the inside of the Christian church. We’ll talk with folks who are re-exploring, re-imagining, de-colonizing and renewing the church into something beautiful and weird. We’ll hear from mystics, planters, artists, prophets, poets, contemplatives and activists; ordinary folks with extraordinary visions and dreams. Hosted by Amy Haynes and Rob Crosby-Shearer - a project of Leadershift Church Planting Project (United Church - PMR Region)
