John Plummer

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing John Plummer. John grew up in and around Nashville, TN.   He was unsuccessfully raised Southern Baptist and later baptized into the Roman Catholic Church.    He first came across independent sacramental churches in the mid-1980s.   After becoming actively involved in the ISM in the early to mid-90s, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1996 and consecrated in 1998.    He has degrees from Fordham – Bachelor of Arts in both philosophy &amp; theology, Vanderbilt – Master of Arts, in history of Christian thought; and, the Graduate Theological Foundation – Doctor of Philosophy in theology.  He is perhaps best known for the published version of his dissertation,  The Many Paths of the Independent Sacramental Movement.    John is now the associate pastor and bishop coadjutor at St Basil's Parish in Nashville, preaching and celebrating the liturgy every week. This episode is sponsored in part by Convergent Streams: The Premier ISM Magazine.  This podcast is produced by The Community of Saint George (The Young Rite).

Alan Kemp

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing: Archbishop Alan Kemp. He is the founder and first Presiding Bishop of the Ascension Alliance, a religious community, church, and umbrella organization. He is a professor of sociology, trained in clinical social work, and also earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from St. Andrew's College.  He is an educator, priest, bishop, writer, and I would add an all-around great guy. In this episode we talk about:  His elevator speech? How he describes the Independent Sacramental Movement to someone who has no idea what it is. He spoke about the Ascension Alliance and Ascension Theological College. He spoke about his dissertation from St. Andrew’s College for his doctor of ministry degree. He talked about his greatest challenge as a bishop. And finally, he talked about his greatest blessing in ministry.  This episode is sponsored in part by Convergent Streams: The Premier ISM Magazine.  If you haven’t checked out Convergent Streams, I encourage you to do so, why?  Because it’s a great publication AND when you support Convergent Streams you are supporting a ministry within the Independent Sacramental Movement.  How can you go wrong with that?  Check it out at convergentstreams.org.  I like the print copy, but you can also get it in ebook format.  This episode is produced by the Community of Saint George (Young Rite).

Saving Evangelism with guest host Kevin Daugherty

Kenny von Folmar

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing Bishop Kenny von Folmar who is the Presiding Bishop and Co-Founder of the Anthem Network. The Anthem Network is a faith family gathered from the many Christian Traditions that is striving to live out an expression of the Church that honors and balances the varied witnesses of our faith ancestors. The Anthem Network’s vision is to see churches planted that are places of convergence for the Christian Tradition – reflecting a harmonious blend of the sacramental, evangelical and charismatic traditions. He has been the Lead Pastor of Solomon’s Porch in Phoenix, Arizona for the past 5 years. In the episode, we talk about several things including,  His elevator speech. How he describes the Independent Sacramental Movement to someone who has no idea what it is. What is The Anthem Network? He describes what makes it unique. Some of the challenges he has encountered as a bishop within the Independent Sacramental Movement. His Ecumenical ties with local church bodies. And finally, his greatest blessing within ministry.

JOHN MABRY

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing: The Reverend Doctor John Mabry. John was ordained to the Old Catholic ministry in 1991. He has served as an associate pastor — and later the solo pastor — of Grace North Church in Berkeley, California since 1993. Grace North Church is a Congregational church that worships in a more-or-less Anglican fashion. John was consecrated a bishop in 2007 for the Old Catholic Order of Holy Wisdom, he served that community until he retired from the episcopacy in 2012, when he was received into the United Church of Christ as a pastor. He continues to serve Grace North Church, now also received into the UCC, and also serves at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Oakland. He holds a master’s degree in Culture and Creation Spirituality from Holy Names College and a doctorate in Philosophy and Religion from the California Institute of Integral Studies, where he majored in Hinduism and minored in Taoism. John holds certificates in Anglican Studies, Spiritual Direction, and Spiritual Direction Supervision, and for the past sixteen years has directed the Interfaith Spiritual Direction Certificate Program at the Chaplaincy Institute — an interfaith seminary in Berkeley, CA — where he also teaches comparative theology. He has taught spirituality, Christian mysticism, world religions, and pastoral ministry at various graduate schools in the Bay Area. John is the author of over thirty books. He also owns and operates The Apocryphile Press, a small publishing house with more than 200 titles by 50 authors around the world. Among many other things, Apocryphile publishes many important books on Old Catholic history, theology, and practice. John is married to Doctor Lisa Fullam, a veterinarian turned-theologian who currently serves as Professor of Moral Theology at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, CA. They live in Oakland and have three lovely dogs. In his spare time, John sings in two Bay Area progressive rock bands, Metaphor and Mind Furniture, which between them have released five CDs of original material over the past twenty years. We talked about several things, including:   Jurisdictionalism within the Independent Sacramental Movement.  Christian Mysticism. John’s Blackfriar novels, “The Kingdom,  The Power, and  The Glory.” And other subjects, you just need to listen.  Links: Convergent Streams: The Premier ISM Magazine.

Being Intentional with Lainie Petersen

Aaron Watson

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing Father Aaron Watson. Aaron is a recently ordained Priest within the Home Temple group.  In June of 2019, he completed his Diaconate studies in the Home Temple and was ordained as a Priest in Staten Island, NY.   He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Texts (Summa Cum Laude) with a minor in Biblical Languages. He also holds certification in Missions. He is a lifetime "member of the Alpha-Chi National Honor Society and is listed in the "Whos who" of College and University Students in 2006. He has studied under Dr. Lewis Keizer of the Home Temple, where he is currently working through their curriculum. He is a phone salesman by day and a Pastor by night. He feels called to build bridges between faith communities. Aaron started his ministry in 2002 while a student at Ohio Valley University in Vienna, WV. Preaching and teaching at small country churches. He continued his ministry until he fell ill in 2009. Diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and disillusionment with what the "church" had to offer, he began his search for God in other capacities for several years. His search led him to Catholicism, where he was confirmed on Easter of 2008. When that didn't help his disillusionment, Aaron began to study with the Sufis, where he developed a hunger for mysticism and esoteric studies. It was during this time that he discovered the Western Mystery Tradition. From 2008-2016 he found himself under many teachers trying to discover the kernel of truth that resides in all religious expression. We talked about:  His elevator speech, how he talks about the Independent Sacramental Movement. His challenges and blessings within ministry. Chaplaincy and Hospice chaplaincy. Bringing the sacraments to people.  Links: Home Temple. Convergent Streams: The Premier ISM Magazine. This podcast is produced by The Community of Saint George (The Young Rite).

Bringing the Sacraments with Aaron Watson

In this episode, I explore the ordination of women and why is it that some jurisdictions within the Independent Sacramental Movement and the Roman Catholic Church choose to not ordain women.

Tracy Barnowe

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing the Reverend Tracy Barnowe. This episode of Sacramental Whine: An Independent Sacramental Movement podcast is a special episode.  It’s special because my guest is an expert in church growth and she came on the podcast to de-mystify this topic. Tracy has been an ordained minister with the United Church of Christ since 2012. She has over 20 years of experience in growing organizations, and she has even started a few. After years as a revitalization minister, teaching growth workshops, and consulting with declining churches, she decided to start a website to get this information to more churches that need help fast.  Her website is http://howtogrowmychurch.com and she is the author of the book,  “Grow Your Church: Overcome the biggest obstacle to church growth and get 85% of your first-time visitors to return.” Listen to this episode to learn the following:  The five lost skills (that cost nothing!) that all churches should master to grow anywhere. The most important factor a newcomer is looking for in a church home. What the emerging church will look like in 50 years and how to let it happen in your church today. The difference between experts, metrics, and evidence-based church growth strategies, and why that is important.  Links: Tracy Barnowe's webpage.  Grow Your Church (on Amazon).

The Secret to Church Growth with Tracy Barnowe

In this episode, I want to share with you two essays I wrote.  Both essays are admission essays for my application to start a Doctor of Ministry program at Methodist Theological School in Ohio, the same seminary where I earned my Master of Divinity.  The first essay charts my professional growth since graduating from seminary and the second essay answers the question of what my specialization of choice is and what my goals are in starting a Doctor of Ministry program.  I share this to give perspective to those who might not know much about the Independent Sacramental Movement and to share my story as I am living it; the story of one cog in the machine that keeps the Independent Sacramental Movement in motion.  The episode title, "Do we need more Demons" is a play on words, as D.Min (or Doctor of Ministry) is sometimes jokingly referred to as "Demon" and how "Jesus cast out the "D.Mins."
