As our first season of Rev'ing Up moves toward its close, Meagan and Carrie take time to discuss a question we saw frequently in the responses to our Rev'ing Up initial community survey: what the heck is it like to learn ministry during a pandemic? From opening meetings with spiritual readings and personal check-ins to cultivating gratitude for new tech tools and competencies, today's show discusses the ins and outs of ministry during COVID. We are living in a time filled with grief and anger, and effective ministers are very much needed. This episode references Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown.

We hope you will join us for that and for our LIVE SHOW on Thursday, May 27 at 7pm! Meagan and Carrie will be chatting and taking your questions live on our CCNY YouTube channel (youtube.com/c/ccnyuu).
