Theology and the Christian life aren't as cut and dried as we sometimes think. Join Jeff Slater from Trinity UMC and Amy Slater from South Gate UMC in Lincoln, Nebraska for thoughtful, provocative, and fun conversations on some of the burning questions of theology and the life of faith.
(Thanks to the Trinity UMC worship band for the theme music!)
This is for the Metho-nerds and the Metho-curious. Jeff and Amy sit down with Meggan Macomber from Trinity UMC to talk about the nuts and bolts (and the many, many rules) of how our denomination works. Are we TOO structured? Probably. But do our rules speak volumes about how we view God and each other and how we see God working in our midst? Definitely!

ATW: Let Justice Flow: Faith, Policing, and Racial Justice
This time Jeff and Amy respond to the George Floyd murder trial and the guilty verdicts for Derek Chauvin. Justice is an essential part of faith, helping order the world closer to what God intends. So how is a Christian to respond, especially white Christians whose life experience can't fully understand how the African American community sees this? Listen, and join in the discussion!
Also, here's a link to the book Amy mentions:

ATW: Suicide Prevention and Theology
Suicide is already a problem in our society and there are signs the pandemic has made it worse. What should a Christian believe? And, just as importantly, what can we do to open dialogue with the people we encounter to help prevent it?
As Jeff & Amy say in this episode, one of the best things you can do is to put the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in your phone. Don't try to memorize it, don't plan on just googling it if you ever need it. Add it as a contact, now, while you're thinking about it. It might not be your life it saves, it may be for someone you haven't even met yet. Here it is:
1-800-273-8255 - suicidepreventionlifeline.org (//suicidepreventionlifeline.org)
