After briefly touching upon the meaning of "resonance" (H. Rosa), we turn to discuss Oliver's article "Serving God across the Divide: A Lesson from Jeremiah." We reference different fissures in our society, how they lead to feelings of outrage, apathy, and tiredness, how Jeremiah himself confronted various types of polarization, what the character of his prophetic critique might be, how it might be relevant to us, how it straddles the dialectic of critique and nurture, the way such critique is both radically honest and marked by relentless solidarity with those that might stand against us, and the kind of community Jeremiah's prophetic vision might commend.

In this podcast, we engage in free-ranging conversations on life, faith, philosophy, ethics, relationships, culture, experience, and all matters existential. And as the title of the show points out, we approach these things "in the middle of things," that is, by grabbing hold of them unsystematically and provisionally. Concerning "about us," we are friends and verbal sparring partners who also happen to be colleagues at Andrews University. - Oliver Glanz and Ante Jerončič
