The Tilted Halo

The Tilted Halo podcast has a refreshing and honest perspective on the challenges pastors face in their ministry and those involved in ministry as a whole. Hosted by Pastor Kathleen Panning, who has seen it all, this edgy show explores the idea that we all have a "tilted halo" - a recognition that we are not perfect and all make mistakes. Through personal experiences, interviews with fellow pastors, leaders, and insights from scripture, this show offers advice and encouragement for those struggling with the weight of their imperfections. From burnout and rude awakenings to personal failures and shortcomings, The Tilted Halo provides a safe space for pastors to share their struggles and find support from a community of like-minded souls around the globe. With a focus on authenticity, vulnerability, and humanity at large, this podcast challenges the notion that pastors must have it all together and invites listeners to embrace their humanity and lean into the grace of God. Whether you are a pastor or someone looking for a fresh perspective on life's challenges, The Tilted Halo is a must-listen in the search for hope, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.

  EP 63: Finding God in Your "What If" Moments

  Jul 21, 202519 minS0

  <p>Ever noticed how two simple words—"what if"—can simultaneously inspire dreams and provoke anxiety? That's the fascinating paradox I, Pastor Kathleen Panning, will unpack in this thought-provoking episode of The Tilted Halo.<br/><br/>Remember childhood make-believe? Those carefree days when we'd imagine being teachers, doctors, astronauts—or even pastors—without concern for practicality or limitations? I share how this childhood imagination contrasts with our adult tendency to restrict possibilities, especially in ministry settings. Drawing from personal experience, she illustrates how "what if" thinking transformed a simple church roof repair into an opportunity for substantial improvements that better served t...

  EP 62: Embracing Doubt: The Secret to Vibrant Faith

  Jul 14, 202516 minS0

  <p>Doubt has gotten a bad rap in religious circles for centuries. Many of us have grown up hearing about "Doubting Thomas" as a cautionary tale – an example of insufficient faith rather than natural curiosity. But what if we've been approaching doubt all wrong?<br/><br/>In this eye-opening episode of The Tilted Halo, I challenge the conventional wisdom that doubt represents spiritual failure. Drawing from Frederick Buechner's brilliant definition that "doubts are the ants in the pants of faith" that "keep it awake and moving," I offer a refreshing perspective, particularly valuable for women in ministry and leadership positions.<br...

  EP 61: Love grows where gratitude is planted

  Jul 7, 202539 minS0

  <p>Gratitude transforms everything—yet in our demanding, rights-focused world, it's becoming increasingly rare. In this thought-provoking episode, we explore Jesus' Parable of the Money Lenders from Luke 7, discovering a profound link between gratitude and our capacity for love.<br/><br/>The parable seems deceptively simple: two debtors, one owing 500 denarii (nearly two years' wages) and another owing 50, have their debts completely forgiven. Jesus asks which debtor will love their creditor more. But the context reveals much more—Jesus tells this story while a "sinful woman" weeps at his feet, washing them with her tears and expensive perfume, while his Phar...

  EP 60: Breaking Free from the Boxes We Build

  May 26, 202523 minS0

  <p>Have you ever felt stuck in a box of your own making? That nagging sensation that you're trapped in a role, a mindset, or a pattern that no longer serves you?<br/><br/>I want to take you on a journey through the concept of breaking free from self-imposed limitations and reframing our past experiences. Drawing from my book "Tilted Halo: Exposing the Truth of Women in Ministry and Untold Stories," I share a powerful personal story about transforming a painful wedding memory through the simple act of perspective shift. I recount how a reinterpretation of my father's wedding...

  EP 59: Finding Your Path When No Map Exists

  May 19, 202519 minS0

  <p>What happens when you're called to blaze a trail with no map to follow? For women in ministry leadership, this isn't just a theoretical question—it's the daily reality of navigating spaces traditionally dominated by men.<br/><br/>I launch this episode of the "Tilted Halo" podcast with a powerful reflection on finding your place when there's no clear roadmap. Drawing from my experience as the only female pastor within a 60-mile radius of her first rural parish, I share the vulnerable story of receiving directions to "turn where the Peterson barn used to be"—a perfect metaphor for the...
