Episode 11 - Moving from Cheap Diversity to True Solidarity (with David W. Swanson)

Join us for this insightful conversation with pastor and author, David W. Swanson, as we discuss how to move from cheap diversity to true solidarity in the church. Too often we have seen shallow diversity efforts that are outward and performative but that don't lead to true heart change. Pastor Swanson provides us with a different model, which he has laid out in his book, Rediscipling the White Church. Rather than focusing on surface level diversity, he encourages us as followers of Jesus to focus on discipleship and solidarity to reimagine what racial unity can look like in the Body of Christ.

Episode 10 - Unmasking the Religious Right (with Rob Schenck)

Join us for an incredibly insightful conversation with Rev. Rob Schenck. After more than three decades as a leader in the anti-abortion movement, Rev. Schenck had a change of heart and began to see through the machinations of the Religious Right Movement. Most recently, he participated in the protests in Minneapolis against the brutal ICE invasion of the city, and you may have seen his viral video on Mother Jones. He has now dedicated his life to the work of repair, both in his own soul and in advocating for policies of justice and mercy in our nation.

Episode 9 - The Christian Past That Wasn't (with Warren Throckmorton)

Join us for a fascinating conversation with Warren Throckmorton as we discuss his new book, The Christian Past That Wasn't. For decades, Christian Nationalists have mythologized and romanticized our history while glossing over the darker and less palatable parts of the story in order to advance their political agenda. Our goal on the contrary is to bring the truth to light and to face it head on - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
