SIGN UP NOW Don't Miss This Groundbreaking Podcast. Be Part of History! For a decade at the beginning of the twentieth century, a small group of pastors, missionaries, and theologians set out to change the church. They were mostly GenXers, mostly men, mostly white, mostly evangelical. They planted churches and wrote books and ran conferences. They were quoted in the New York Times and Time Magazine, and they landed on the cover of Christianity Today and the Christian Century.   And then, almost as quickly as it appeared, the emerging church movement disappeared.   In this 8-part+ series, Tony Jones and Tripp Fuller will journey through the electrifying, tumultuous, ever-evolving years of the ECM through interviews, stories, and opinions from some of the movement’s pivotal figures. They’ll tackle questions like: What were the precursors to the ECM? What catalyzed the movement? How cohesive was it, really? When and why did interest switch from the evangelical church to the mainline? Did it become too political? Did the movement ultimately fail, or did it infiltrate and change the church? Confirmed guests already include Brian McLaren, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Doug Pagitt, Mark Oestreicher, Diana Butler Bass, Anthony Smith, Danielle Shroyer, Brad Cecil, Jonny Baker, Jason Clark, Gerardo Marti, and never-before-heard conversations with Rachel Held Evans. Plus, many more!   By supporting the podcast, you'll also get access to livestream debriefs with Tony Jones and Tripp Fuller, an online community to interact with other listeners, upload your own five minute story to potentially be included in the podcast, access to a digital download library of ECM history, and more!
