Temporada 1
por Table Talk and Tumbleweeds
For Men's Mental Health Month - June How do the additional struggles and pressures of the rural world influence mental health and suicide, especially among ranching and farming men? After considering some sobering statistics, Pastors Lisa and Joshua look at Matthew 11:16-19, which feels familiar and true in our context. How can the church serve these people, stuck in their boxes? Table Talk and Tumbleweeds is a ministry of Wheatland UCC and Covenant Lutheran Church of Wheatland, Wyoming, and is made possible by an "In The Mud" grant from the United Church of Christ.
What does the rural church have to teach the broader Christian tradition — and why does the church always seem to be talking at rural communities instead of with them? Pastors Lisa and Joshua open the show with Matthew 9:35–10:8, which turns out to have a lot to say about the church's rural blind spot—and why the people being overlooked might be the ones the harvest needs.
