On this very special Thanksgiving episode, I invited Dr. Brian Bantum to help me identify and unpack our origin stories - from Adam and Eve to Thanksgiving. These are the narratives we all construct to help us understand the world around us as we experience it. 

Brian is the Neal F. and Ila A. Fisher Professor of Theology at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Chicago (though he lives in Seattle with his wife Gail Song, a Korean-American pastor, and their three sons.) Brian has his PhD from Duke University and considers how Christians encounter and speak about God as they make sense of their world.
