Meet the Hosts
Rev. Molly Brummett Wudel
Molly Brummett Wudel (she/her) is an ordained Alliance of Baptist pastor and currently a PhD student with the Chair of Practical Theology, Prof. Dr. Sabrina Müller at the Faculty of Protestant Theology, University of Bonn, Germany. Her doctoral research investigates the role of sharing power within the preaching moment through the practice of dialogical preaching, with a particular focus on the lived experiences and transformation of faith communities. The project builds on her eleven years as a dialogical preacher. Before doctoral work, Molly pastored Emmaus Way, a dialogical, ecumenical church in Durham, NC.
When she isn’t studying, writing, or organizing, she and her spouse, James, attempt to keep up with their very active first grader, George Eden.
