Record Live Podcast

To be called to do something is a phrase that people often use to describe finding a life purpose. In the church, it can be imbued with an almost mystical sense, especially when we talk about a call to paid, full time ministry. We talk with Pastor Jesse Herford about the biblical background to some of our concepts around the call and also get some insight into his own experience. We also reflect on a recent article in Adventist Record about someone who feels like they missed their calling. Check it out here: https://record.adventistchurch.com/20...

You don't want to miss it. Wednesdays 4pm or check out the podcast.

Our parents and grandparents have fascinating stories of faith and struggle that we don't always know or appreciate. And there is a biblical mandate for remembering.

Adventism has some unique contributions to make to the conversation around race and the church. We speak to Nathan Brown and Maury Jackson, two of the contributors and the editors of A House On Fire, a compilation of essays on the topic.

We speak with Adventist historian and director of the North American Division's department of Archives, Statistics and Research, Dr Michael Campbell about his book 1922: The rise of Adventist Fundamentalism.
