The Calling, the Church, and the Courage to Question: Rev. Ellen Schoepf of Edgewood Lutheran Church
In this episode of Theo’s Coffee Break, I sit down with Rev. Ellen Schoepf, a pastor, thinker, and spiritual leader unafraid to speak truth in tender places.
Together, we explore the evolving role of the church, what it means to wrestle with faith in a shifting world, and how to hold onto compassion when institutions fall short.
This conversation invites us to reimagine what community, leadership, and spiritual integrity can look like especially in times of division and change.
☕ Whether you’re deconstructing, rebuilding, or simply curious, this coffee break conversation was made with intention for you.
