Equip @ Tabernacle

Bonus Episode - Jake and Kev

Hey everyone! Season 2 was full of rich conversations. It left us feeling inspired to get back on the mics and record another episode. 
With the holiday season being a busy time for most, we have a tentative plan to release three episodes in December. These episodes will simulate the Equip panel we had envisioned. We’ll be featuring some of Tabernacle’s very own, discussing topics like education, authoring, and theology & worship.
We hope you’ll stay tuned and up-to-date during this interim period before the next season!
