The Transition Podcast with Rev. Julia Metcalf
“The Transition Podcast” is hosted by Rev. Julia Metcalf of First Church Tulsa, and is a conversation about the process and progress of pastoral transition within the Presbyterian Church of the U.S.A. Using the context of First Church Tulsa and the retirement of a long-term Senior Pastor, Rev. Julia will explore the ins-and-outs of the process from saying goodbye to the current Senior Pastor, welcoming an Interim Pastor, conducting a Mission Study, and eventually calling a new Senior Pastor.
