Brandon Wrencher: Joining God in the Neighborhood
This week on the podcast, we had the honor of being joined by Brandon Wrencher - a pastor, author, speaker, organizer, and nonprofit leader. Brandon has his hands in a lot of different initiatives, one of which is organizing with a nonprofit called the Good Neighbor Movement and another of which is researching with the Liberating Church Project. Tune in to the episode to learn more about these fascinating organizations and Brandon's powerful work!
Amongst so much more, Brandon possesses a deep passion for the intersection of spirituality and social justice, contemplation and activism. Along with this, his love for the church and yet desire to hold it accountable has led him to pursue efforts in decolonizing new and existing faith communities. In the midst of this episode, Brandon explores each of these various topics and the work that is at the forefront of his mind right now, and it's all so very beautiful and important! We are so pumped to share this episode with you all.

Once again, as Brandon is a pastor and doing work with faith communities, we preface this episode with a disclaimer that it contains discussion of spiritual topics, specifically around Christian spirituality. Though this is the case, we believe this episode will be helpful and powerful regardless of your relationship to spirituality and Christian spirituality. Enjoy!
