026 - Judy Peterson | Season 2 Premier with The Walking Pastor

Welcome back to the Thereafter Podcast! We are so excited to launch Season 2 and also to introduce Meghan Crozier ( @thepursuinglife on Twitter and Instagram) as the new co-host with Cortland Coffey.

We take some time at the front of the show to hang out a bit and intro a new segment TwitBits (a working title) that we'll be doing each week here on the show! If you'd rather skip straight to our interview, feel free to skip ahead to the 28 minute mark.

On this Season 2 debut, we had the honor of sitting down with Pastor Judy Howard Peterson. Pastor Judy was ordained in the Evangelical Covenant Church and she most recently served as the campus pastor at North Park University in Chicago, IL until she was stripped of her ordination for officiating a same-sex wedding in 2017. Her decision helped bring to the surface a broader ongoing conversation about the historically hard-line non-affirming stance within the ECC denomination.

Judy’s warm and caring nature leaves a lasting impression on anyone who crosses paths with her and we have no doubt you will feel seen and loved as you listen to her stories. You can find Judy these days on Instagram at @walkingpastor where she continues to share her journey on a daily basis.

We’d love to hear your thoughts from the episode. Drop us a note on social media and please take a minute to rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!
