Thinking Out Loud is a place to digest audibly the things we tend to think through silently. We'll look at a variety of complex issues from a variety of points of view, not necessarily to get to "right answers" but to build empathy and perspective.

In anticipation of the new season, we are counting down the top 5 most listened to episodes. Today we revisit episode 008, Mel Hartley and I talk about our frustrations and hopes with the Church. Why are we still here? What brings us joy and what frustrates us when it comes to the church? And ultimately, what brings us hope?
