This week, the THSP crew discusses the ways that anti-intellectualism is harming Christian religious communities. Listen in as Katie, Sam, and Brandon discuss the relationship between critical thinking and deep feeling - and how a life of the mind can enrich one's emotional life and faith.

Anti-Intellectualism, Power, and the Church

Religious institutions have groomed us to ask fewer questions and to be more fearful of difference. But questions give our lives meaning and help us understand more about God, ourselves, and the world. The Holy Shit Pod (THSP) is a jaw-dropping, belly-laughing conversation about the questions that many religious institutions avoid at all costs or fail to take seriously. With over 50 years of collective pastoral experience, Reverends Brandon T. Maxwell, Katie Ricks, and Samuel Lee White, III engage in candid conversations about faith, theology, healing from religious trauma, and becoming more fully human.
