The "Everyone Has A Story" shorts are 15 to 30 minute discussions with someone in the community who has a story to tell about their life with the church. Christopher Eaker was raised in a Southern Baptist church where he felt pressure to conform to a certain standard. When he became an adult, he grappled with the faith he grew up in. He did not like how the church presented itself as some kind of spectacle. For years, Christopher and his wife attended a house church with no more than 20-30 people. Christopher talks about why they left both the house and Anglican church, what started his deconstructing journey, and about becoming a Spiritual Director. Christopher ends with great remarks to the church.

Meet Me At The Table is a podcast that mainly focuses on Christianity and how that concept has lost its personal connection due to inherent issues with the church structure. We have all traveled different roads and have different stories to share and ideas to discuss. Some of these discussions may not be related to the church at all. They may just be related to the bumps in the road along the ride. We want to pull up a chair and discuss both sides in a respectful manner with the hopes of finding solutions. So, come along for our journey and sit with us at the table.
