Summary

Welcome to the More Than Sunday Podcast, where we dive deeper into the conversations that matter.

Each episode shines a light on the important work being done to uplift those around us. Whether you're seeking answers, inspiration, or simply a sense of community, we hope you join us for the conversation. In season 10, which we're calling Love Served Here, we took the show on the road to chat with local restaurants and organizations to hear stories of how they're using food to bring people together.All rights reserved Christianity Social Sciences Spirituality

  • What is the future of faith?
    May 6 2026

    Season 13 of the 'More than Sunday' podcast explores the intersection of faith and technology and asks what it might look like to stay human in an increasingly digital world.

    This season features conversations with pastors and faith leaders from the Phygital Preaching Fellowship, an initiative of Texas Methodist Foundation and Wesleyan Impact Partners, made possible through the support of the Lilly Endowment.

    Host, Rohini Drake, has been part of this fellowship for the past two years, and the interviews included in the podcast were recorded in Chicago to capture real, thoughtful reflections from leaders navigating ministry in a hybrid, evolving landscape.

    In the final episode of this season, we ask a question that many of us have been wrestling with lately - 'what is the future of faith'? We hear again from Rev. Rachel Gilmore and Dr. Tamice Spencer-Helms, who is a teacher, theologian and creator of the Black Modern Mystic podcast to find out what they think is driving younger generations to explore faith in online spaces. We'll also hear from Dr. Clayton Oliphint, Senior Pastor at FUMCR and Rev. Allison Jean, Pastor of Modern Worship who help us navigate these conversations with insight, curiosity, and through the lens of faith.
