Meg Jenista is an ordained pastor in the Christian Reformed Church of North America, serving two churches for a total of 15 years. In conjunction with her PhD studies, Meg serves as the Project Director for The Center for Public Justice’s Compelling Preaching Grant Initiative, Church Reforming: Preaching for a Pluralistic Age. Pastoring in Washington DC from 2012-2023, she is eager to better understand the role of preaching in relation to political discipleship. Standing at the intersection of public and practical theologies — specifically the disciplines of political theology and preaching — she finds compelling resources for her research interests in the Neo-Calvinist tradition, especially the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa; in decolonial hermeneutics and homiletics; and in the field of public theology more broadly. 

Kelly Bronson is the Program Manager for Church Reforming: Preaching for a Pluralistic Age. In this role she manages the day-to-day operations of the program which helps preachers to practice and reflect on the work of preaching and political discipleship. Before CPJ, Kelly worked in various ministry and non-profit roles. She graduated with a degree in International Studies from the University of Central Florida and studied at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO.
