Faithful Dissent
Two voices, one conversation- faithfully interrogating the world. Hosts Brian Metzger and James Farlow explore changes in politics and culture through the lens of faith and the search for meaning. Faithful Dissent brings laughter, story, and fun debates to topics that can divide us but that we can't escape. No drama, no forced narratives, and everyone is welcome!

Leaving the Vineyard
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After 30 years, our church home, Raleigh Vineyard, left Vineyard USA to become Rivertree Church. This move was in response to a reorganization of the Vineyard by denominational leaders that left churches unrepresented in the church polity. We unpack this move, discuss the history of the Vineyard, explain what makes the Vineyard special, and talk about what it's like to reluctantly leave your home. Join us for a lively discussion and leave feedback if you have any questions.
