88: Son of a Gun

We sit down with Caden Gustafson. Caden is Bryon's son and used to work the gun counter for North40 Outfitters in Great Falls, Montana. We thought a good discussion for our campfire today would be to talk a little more about the types of guns that Joe might get to have his first successful season of hunting. Caden offers his knowledge from selling guns previously to help Joe narrow down his choices. We also open up a new beer and it might be the worst beer we have ever tried.

87: Sunday Schooled

We sit around the campfire with Stephen Underwood. Stephen is the lead pastor at Central Christian Church in Great Falls Montana. From the church website: “We are an inclusive people openly welcoming persons of all sexual orientation, gender, gender identity/expression, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status or any other designation of individuals who have known the pain of exclusion and discrimination by the church and society. We declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation, professing that all people are God’s children and deserve full inclusion in the life, leadership, ministry, fellowship, worship, sacraments of communion and baptism, as well as the church rites of marriage, death, and ordination, and the responsibilities, and blessings of participation in our congregation. With open hearts, open minds, and open doors, we invite anyone who seeks God’s amazing grace to join our church family. As Disciples, we find identity at the Lord’s table, practicing open communion for all and embracing our mission of building bridges of grace from the welcome table to every table.” We felt it was great timing to have him on during Pride month, and discuss the LGBTQ community and what it is like to be an openly gay pastor. This was such an amazing talk and we can't wait for you to listen in.
