In May, we’ll wrap up our sixth season of “Iron Sharpens Iron” (ISI)—our free, weekly NNU-Clergy peer‑dialogue until we kick off our seventh season in September. ISI is a valuable ministry resource designed specifically by clergy with pastors in mind—it’s where you have a seat in the studio!
In addition to our live Monday sessions at 11:00 a.m. MDT, we continue expanding our video archive of more than 175 past conversations. And if you prefer to listen on the go, ISI is now available as an audio podcast as well.
Each month, we welcome a gifted pastoral co‑host to help guide our conversations and shape our guest lineups. Please join me in thanking these pastoral colleagues for lending their voices and leadership this Spring.
- March: Rev. JanElle Hoffman, Colorado District;
- April: Rev. Jared Trygg, Northwest District; and
- May: Rev. Jodi Combe, Oregon Pacific District.
JanElle, Jared, and Jodi have helped me create a strong lineup for the months ahead, and we would love for you to join us.
