An Interview with the Internet’s Youth Pastor, Mason Mennenga

In today's episode, we are excited to interview Mason Mennenga, a theologian, podcaster, YouTuber, and the self-proclaimed "Internet's Youth Pastor."

Mason's unique approach to ministry involves critiquing Evangelical discourse with satire through his social media presence. He also hosts two podcasts: "A People’s Theology" and "The BlackSheep Podcast: Presented by HM Magazine."

He earned his Masters of Divinity from Christian Theological Seminary in 2020 and went on to complete a Master of Arts in Theology at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities in 2022.

During our conversation, we explore Mason's background, his journey into ministry, his time as a football player, the current state of the church, strategies for reaching Gen Z, and he shares theological insights on Wesley's means of grace.

For me, as the host, Mason represents the present and future of progressive ministry.
