We're taking a slight deviation this week and putting Pastor Greg in the hot seat. In this episode of "Questions I'm Asking," Greg Bolt is interviewed by Shawn Daniel, a Catholic seminarian, for a comparative study in ecumenism. They dive into the foundational beliefs of the Presbyterian Church (USA), exploring topics like the central role of Scripture, the concept of "God alone is Lord of the conscience," and the polity that shaped American governance. The conversation is a candid back-and-forth on the biggest barriers to Christian unity—including issues like women in ministry and LGBTQIA+ inclusion—while focusing on shared work, like organizing around poverty, that unites all Christians.

Pastor Greg talks with author and fellow Salem native Cara Meredith about her book, Church Camp, and her spiritual journey following nearly a decade with YoungLife. Cara shares how questioning who was and wasn't welcome led to a faith deconstruction process , ultimately finding a new home in the Episcopal tradition. They explore the beauty of embracing mystery over certainty , the deep human need for belonging, and how simple acts of service can define a church community

What is the true cost of poverty and inequality in America? Pastor Greg Bolt and Bob Rossi (union organizer) are joined by Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharris, co-moderator of the Poor People's Campaign and founder of the Kairos Center. They explore her Armenian-Greek heritage and the role of organizing in challenging oppression, discussing why, despite biblical mandates for justice, poverty remains worse than ever. This episode tackles the difference between human rights and group rights, and whether building a just economy is possible in a society defined by individualism and scarcity.
