About This Podcast

How many times have you been on a Zoom meeting and heard someone say, “you’re on mute.”? If the last year has taught us anything it’s that the gaps in generational thinking are bigger than ever and we have a lot to learn from one another. On “You’re On Mute” Pastors Mary and Elise will talk faith, leadership, social issues and much more, both bringing with them the mindset and knowledge of their prospective generations, knowing that people of different generations are differently wise! We hope to inspire and inform leaders and members of congregations, as well as the unchurched or unsure. It’s Boomer v. Millennial, game on.
