Matthew Hambrick<p>I'm Matt Hambrick, Pastor of Costa Mesa First United Methodist Church. I love Jesus and I love people and it makes me a relentlessly open and affirming pastor in Orange County. I'm an existential theology junkie trying not to be a theobro. Søren Kierkegaard is my father in faith. I'm daily seeking to take a leap of faith.</p><p><a href="https://deacon.social/tags/existentialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>existentialism</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/progressivechristianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>progressivechristianity</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/methodist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>methodist</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/wct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wct</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/wmt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wmt</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/progressiveclergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>progressiveclergy</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/umc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>umc</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/kierkegaard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kierkegaard</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/church" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>church</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/pastor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pastor</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/california" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>california</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/orangecounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>orangecounty</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/affirmingchristian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>affirmingchristian</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/theology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theology</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/oc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oc</span></a></p>
