After the first 2 episodes, for a GenXer who was at a mainline church at the time and who read Brian, Tony, and Rob Bell but who wasn’t connected to the movement’s inner circle, the overall story is hard to track. The amount of name dropping makes it hard to find the narrative of the emergent church movement. I hope future episodes focus more on threading together and fleshing out the actual big ideas that shaped the movement and the narrative of what unfolded. Less of impressing people with who was at what events and pumping up how cool everyone and everything was (without the why), and more story please.
As somebody who was too young to catch the Emerging Church in its prime, but old enough to be influenced by it, I have really enjoyed this podcast! It has been helpful to hear the stories and gain some insights into the movement. It has helped me better understand my own faith journey and my time as a pastor. Highly recommend!
This podcast is so many things: an awesome documentary, cultural commentary, and insight into a movement that had a big impact on the wider culture. Emerged shows the influence of the Emergent movement while being entertaining, charming, and striking that nostalgic tone that will draw in anyone who has felt the touch of the Emergent Church
I highly recommend this episode. Wonderful conversation about the roots of the movement from its key leaders.
