I Am a Revolutionary
<p>In today's episode the guys welcome back friend of the pod, the Rev. Dr. Joe Scrivner, Dean of Chapel at Stillman College. In the first segment, the guys have a conversation about race while talking about the movie Judas and the Black Messiah and the book The Sum of Us by author Heather McGhee. In the second segment the guys discuss the relationship between Christianity and Culture through the lens of the Niebuhr brothers and the departure of Beth Moore from the Southern Baptist Conference. They also explore the possibility that the United States is attaching religious devotion to political philosophy even as the influence of the Church is declining. These are great conversations to listen in on. Of course we will bless some hearts and must a little from the front porch. Check it out!</p>

Take 3
<p>In today's show, the guys welcome the Rev. Dr. Jonathan LeMaster-Smith, UMC pastor, academic, and expert in all things having to do with the rural South. In the first segment, Marc, Jamie, and Jonathan talk about the ecclesial politics around LGBTQIA+ inclusion, Dr. Seuss, and Morgan Wallen. The segment ends with our take on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me--Southern Edition in which the guys discuss the propriety of squirrel in Brunswick Stew, the best recipe for souse meat, and the greatness of Ric Flair. In the second segment, attention turns to the lack of rural access to quality healthcare and the success of the recently completed pilot program in Stockton, CA in which 175 families were given $500-a-month, no strings attached in hopes that this would allow the families to experience better (and fuller) employment, reduced familial anxiety, and a greater sense of wholeness. In between segments, Jamies offers up the quickest blessing of hearts in the history of the show and of course there will be some musings from the front porch. Having tried to get Jonathan on the show two previous times only to have technical difficulties during the interview, this third take is a great success (and conversation.) </p>

Ain't That a Shame
<p>In today's episode, the guys welcome their good friend from their days at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Constructive Theologian and Assistant Professor at the Claremont School of Theology at Willamette University, Yuki Schwartz, onto the show to talk about her work around both in the academy and in the church. Schwartz talks about the role of social justice in the work of theological reflection and how best to meet folks where they are so that religious studies don't remain in the Ivory Tower but, instead, take the lived experience of people seriously. In the second segment, Schwartz explains her area of research on the theological value of shame and the role that shame has come to play in our body politic. The three then talk about the power of shame to keep marginalized communities knowing their place in the hierarchy of the nation. As an example they talk about the actions of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in her efforts to shame members of the transgender community into fitting into her narrowly defined gender categories. Of course hearts will be blessed in the middle of the show and a full-on geek conversation breaks out as the three discuss WandaVision, the Marvel Comics Universe, and the Star Wars canon while on the front porch musing. We hope that you will enjoy this week's offering. </p>
