Ep. 16 - Christian Spiritual Practices, Part One

On this episode, our guest is Glen Soderholm. He’s our pastor here at Two Rivers Church, and was the first guest on the podcast when we started two years ago. He’s returned to talk about an uncommon way of thinking about church as a community of spiritual practices. In this episode, we discuss the relationship between practices and beliefs, how to think about our beliefs in a post-Christendom age, and how maintaining our spiritual practices can support us when our beliefs fall short. In part two, we will talk about how Two Rivers Church applies these concepts to our spiritual practices.

Ep. 1 - Our Story

Welcome to Strays, Orphans, and Exiles, a podcast about Two Rivers Church in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.

We are a diverse community. Some of us have been connected to church for many years, some have left church but are cautiously returning, others are exploring the Christian faith for the first time.

We sometimes think of ourselves as a collection of strays, orphans, and exiles, exploring together what church looks like in the 21st century.

On this episode, we speak with Glen Soderholm, the pastor and co-founder of Two Rivers Church, to discuss how it started… and why.
