You're listening to the Bible for normal people, the only God ordained podcast on the internet.

I'm Pete Ends.

And I'm Jared Bias.

Welcome to this episode of the podcast.

Before we get started though, don't fast forward this part.

We have some very exciting news to share.

We have heard story after story of pastors who are going through a faith transition,

shifting their beliefs about God and the Bible.

And we've heard just how hard it is to go through that while still being responsible for a congregation,

having your paycheck hang in the balance.

We wanted to be a part of that conversation.

So we put together a six week course called pastors for normal people

that will be facilitated by two of our dear friends, Josh James and Jennifer Pasha.

They both have years of pastoral experience while also holding PhDs and biblical studies.

And they've worked through their own struggles of pastoral ministry and deconstruction or faith shifts.

And I've seen this curriculum everyone.

I'm very excited about this course.

So if you're a pastor and you find yourself reading the Bible in new ways and you need to learn how to pastor from a new place

or if you're wrestling with how to introduce these different ways to read and interpret the Bible

that you hear here on the podcast to your congregants, this course is designed for you.

And it's pay what you can.

We don't want to turn anyone away for lack of funds.
