Send us a Question!

Dr. Mika Edmondson, pastor of Koinonia Church in Nashville, joins us for a profound conversation about redemptive suffering and denominational identity. What can Job, MLK, and the african spirituals teach us about redemption and hope amidst incredibly dark times?  

"It's not the suffering in and of itself that is redemptive, it is actually our engagement with it," Mika explains. Instead of fight-or-flight as a response to evil—there's a 3rd way, a way exemplified by Jesus himself. 

Then, the 3 debated the benefits and costs of denominations.  There has been no declared winner, so we need you dear listener to write in and make your case or let us know who won!  ([email protected]) 

Also go read James Cone's The Cross and the Lynching Tree.

If this conversation helps you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review. Your support helps more people find thoughtful, grounded faith in a loud, fearful world.
