Joyously Free!: Brewed Theology – Brewing Open Conversations on Faith, Enlightenment, and Understanding

August 18, 2025

In this episode of Joyously Free!, host Joanie Lindenmeyer welcomes Pastor Jim Abbott to discuss “Brewed Theology,” a new community group dedicated to open-minded conversations about faith, spirituality, and life’s big questions. Pastor Abbott shares his journey from Indiana to the Pacific Northwest, his calling to interim ministry, and his passion for fostering dialogue. Brewed Theology meets every first Saturday of the month at Chetco Brewery and the first Wednesday of the month at Chetco Library. The discussion encourages respectful, kind, and generous dialog where participants share personal stories and perspectives, seeking enlightenment and understanding. Abbott emphasizes the importance of compassion, the value of listening, and his belief in a guiding divine presence, viewing the Bible as a helpful reference rather than the ultimate object of faith.
