Sometimes, watching favorite shows or listening to favorite podcasts is better when you share it with your friends.

The Unfinished Church podcast will present lots of ideas you’ll want to explore with others. A Listening Party is a great way to connect as we listen and build Beloved Community.

We have put together a Listening Party Kit for those who want to host a listening party in their space for The Unfinished Church. This is available on our Engage page and it includes:

  1. A backgrounder on The Unfinished Church
  2. What to do prior to the listening party
  3. What to do at the event
  4. A facilitator’s script with PowerPoint slides
  5. What to do after the event

In Episode 1, the Rev. Nadia Bolz-Weber talks about how sometimes church extends beyond the sanctuary and how powerful faith can unfold in church basements. Listening parties are another way of exploring what’s sacred and important.  We encourage you to explore how they might work in your setting.

The schedule of when each episode is available as well as a virtual Listen & Lunch opportunity are also on the Engage page. We’d love to add your listening party to our page if it is an event open to all.
