In this episode, Sean sits down with Aren Rennacker. Aren is the Pacific Union Conference's (PUC) director of Growing Young Leaders, a newly established department focused on expanded promotion and support for young people preparing for pastoral or educational service in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Aren shares his experience in developing a podcast for the PUC called "Adventist Stories". What is so unique about this podcast is that it is an official publication of the Seventh-day Adventist church while still remaining honest and authentic for everyone involved. Aren shares how, as an Adventist employee, he feels free to share stories that both celebrate and critique the church. Ultimately, Sean asks the question: can Adventist employees be fully honest? See how Aren responds to this question through his own experiences.
