Dr. Jim Rigby ","description":"This week, Scott was joined by Rev. Dr. Jim Rigby, who has served as the pastor of St. Andrew\u2019s Presbyterian Church in Austin for 40 years. Rev. Rigby has garnered attention over the decades for his commitment to justice and a progressive brand of Christianity, and he has been in the news recently as Senate candidate James Talarico\u2019s pastor.&amp;nbsp; Rigby is getting more attention than a typical candidate\u2019s pastor, probably because Rep. Talarico is a seminarian who is putting his faith at the forefront of his candidacy. To be clear, Texas Impact does not endorse candidates for public office. This episode of Weekly Witness is not about a candidate for office. Instead, like every episode of Weekly Witness, it\u2019s about a particular Texas faith leader and how they are doing ministry in their particular context. Currently, Jim Rigby\u2019s context includes having a parishioner with more than the usual amount of name recognition. So, this episode brings you a conversation about what it is like to do ministry from that perspective.&amp;nbsp; We hope you enjoy this episode and invite a friend to listen along.
