Rev. Jonathan Boggs and Jeff Spargo, MDiv,
share their divine calling to develop a theology of technology
through the media non-profit, Parable Media, Inc. This organization
engages in inspiring storytelling for churches, Christian
non-profits, and individuals through services like website design,
photography, graphic design, and more. In this episode, Jonathan
speaks to his journey as an undergrad, his transition to divinity
school at Campbell University, the launch of Parable Media, and its
expansion of virtual technology ministries during Covid-19. Jeff
also shares about his theological education at Gardner-Webb
University, joining the expanding team at Parable Media, and
embracing a call to non-profit work through financial development
and communication. Both Jonathan and Jeff affirm the positive
influences from Baptist Women in Ministry; Jayne Davis, First
Baptist Church, Wilmington; and Wanda Kidd, CBFNC Campus Ministry
(Western Carolina). You can learn more about Parable Media's
