When I started the @ Sea Podcast, I was doing a bit of soul searching. The way I communicated it originally was that the cultural spaces I was used to hosting the work of soul-shaping and meaning-making had ceased to work for enough people or enough kinds of people. In response to that, I wanted to be a guide (a good captain, as it were), helping to navigate the turbulent waters of an unsure/unclear future.  So, I set out to talk with people who were building that future, people who were making what comes next.Over time, I learned something vital: it wasn't' the artifact or the program or even the culture that comes next; it was the person doing the work of making and changing and rethinking and maintaining; that person is what's next.In short, you're what comes next.Then it hit me that I'm part of what comes next, in my own way.And this podcast is part of how I live into that.Over this next season, we will certainly touch on the issues and topics that have been a hallmark of this podcast. But I'll do less focusing on the material and more on the people holding it.A few of the interviews I've already recorded are with people whose names you'll know. Though, many of these conversations will be with people you don't know, people who are part of what comes next in art and faith and leadership. People quietly and diligently working at their craft and culture and who don't have the time to (or interest in) building a brand.You'll also hear a bit more from me, which is a thing I've been somewhat hesitant to do. I've sought to decentralize my own voice with this podcast, and I've benefitted from doing so. But if I'm going to suggest to you that you're part of what comes next and that your work and words make room for others, I'd like to present a clearer example of what it sounds like for me to try doing the same.So, in a sense, a lot will have changed this coming season, even if a lot will not have changed. We're still @ Sea, navigating and listening and paying close attention. But I'd like to look off in the distance a bit less, in search of some safe port or place to anchor. Rather, I'd like to celebrate the reality that you and I are that safe port; and that we didn't set out to just find what's next, we set out to become what's next.  Links For Justin:Read Justin's SubstackOrder In The Low - NEW Book with Scott EricksonCoaching with JustinOrder In Rest - New Book of PoemsOrder Sacred StridesJustinMcRoberts.comSupport this podcastNEW Single - Let GoNEW Music - Sliver of HopeNEW Music - The Dood and The BirdThe Book - It Is What You Make itHearts and Minds Amazon Barnes and Noble

One of the most persistent criticisms of religious progressivism is that it is reactive, pushing back on (and sometimes warring against) older, institutional practices deemed out of date, unhelpful, and even unjust. And while there is some good to such a posture, it doesn’t constitute a full enough profile of leadership.  In his book “The Shift” Colby Martin rises to meet that challenge and critique, not only delving into his own journey but pulling principles of leadership, cultural formation, and communal care that do, in fact, more completely fill out a posture of leadership.  I enjoyed his book as well as the conversation we had about it. I think you might as well. Check it out.   Links For Justin:Read Justin's SubstackOrder In The Low - NEW Book with Scott EricksonCoaching with JustinOrder In Rest - New Book of PoemsOrder Sacred StridesJustinMcRoberts.comSupport this podcastNEW Single - Let GoNEW Music - Sliver of HopeNEW Music - The Dood and The BirdThe Book - It Is What You Make itHearts and Minds Amazon Barnes and Noble

It’s one thing to say “we’re in this together.” It’s another thing entirely to practice “belonging” and pay the kind of price required to actually broaden one’s tent; to include people who would just as soon exclude or eliminate you from the socio-cultural mix altogether. For many years now, Ben McBride has been doing the strange and difficult work of redefining what it means for folks to belong to one another, not just as a sentiment, but as a personal, cultural and institutional practice. He is an activist, a spiritual leader, one of the most valued voices in the country when it comes to the conversation about police/community trust building and gun violence. He is my guest on this episode.
