Keeping a finger on the Pulse of the Episcopal Church and Beyond

Since Fall 2014, Priest Pulse has kept a finger on the pulse of the Episcopal Church and its ecumenical partners, engaging in digital discipleship, sharing relevant stories and news, asking tough questions, and wrestling with being Church in the changing contours of 21st century life. Priest Pulse has featured guests from around the Church including Scott Gunn of Forward Movement and Lent Madness, the Rev. Dr. Karyn Wiseman of the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, and the creators of the hit game "A Game for Good Christians."

Priest Pulse is the future of Christian ministry, utilizing new media for Christian formation, reaching those on the margins of the Church, and getting the word out to non-church-goers.

We want to continue giving you exceptional and entertaining content while also expanding our audience in the months and years to come. We have awesome opportunities lined up, like covering General Convention right from the convention floor, and we need you to help make all this possible!

What We Need & What You Get

We've seen amazing success in the months that Priest Pulse has been on-air. With little more than word-of-mouth and social networking we've grown to having almost 2,000 all time downloads of the show with listeners from around the world.

Now we need your support. In order to continue bringing you an easy to access, exceptional podcast with high-profile guests and quality content we are using Indiegogo to take Priest Pulse to the next level. Some of our goals for this campaign include:

  • We want to raise $5000 in order to make Priest Pulse the best podcast it can be. This money will increase our audience through advertising, pay for the costs of hosting our show, improve our brand new website, and reimburse our staff for equipment and other costs. This money will also go towards the development of smartphone app for iPhone and Android to bring our up-to-date content in an easy to navigate, personalized way.
  • Here's what is most exciting: this fundraiser also gives us the opportunity to bring you totally unique, exciting Priest Pulse merchandise! T-shirts, stickers, frisbees and more will show your support of Priest Pulse and help get the word out about this podcast.
  • By using advertising to increase our audience, Priest Pulse can become a self-sustaining website and podcast that pays for itself in the future.

The Impact

In the 21st century, the Church needs to grow and adapt into new media outlets to bring the message of the good news of Jesus into a changing world. Priest Pulse is an opportunity not just for existing Episcopalians to keep their finger on the pulse of the Church, but to keep our Church relevant in an increasingly tech oriented society.

By supporting Priest Pulse, you help the future of the Church as we bring our ancient traditions into the new century, and you get to enjoy a fun and enlightening show all at the same time!
