Hillsong - Alternative Perspectives
We speak with Jenny Midgley of the Girls Who Do Stuff podcast about the Hillsong Exposed documentary. Jenny shares her perspective on being raised in the Jewish tradition, and her thoughts on megachurches, as we break down the documentary together in this special episode.
Our Guest for this discussion:
- Jenny Midgley is a brand strategist, photographer, and storyteller. She is also one of the hosts of the popular podcast "Girls Who Do Stuff"
- Unlike our previous guests in the past episode, she is not involved in the Church, but agreed to watch the documentary and offer her perspective to expand the conversation of how churches can get better, learn from our mistakes, and be of value to people who are not in "the church-world."
In This Episode:
- We talk about moments in the Documentary, Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed that surprised us.
- We talk about the PreachersNSneakers Instagram account
- Jenny shares a bit about her faith background and how she made the decision to stop following the traditions she was brought up in.
- Jenny grew up active in her synagogue and attended Jewish Day school outside of Washington DC. They were heavily involved in that world and never knew megachurch's existed.
- We discuss buying seats for high holy days and the documentary may have taken that comparison out of context.
- Jenny grew up in a reformed congregation, she refers to it as "Jewish-lite."
- Jenny shares the story of when she decided she was done with her synagogue and that season of her life.
