In this episode, we sit down with Rev. Matt Rawle to talk about his upcoming book out in February, Isaiah for the People: Prophet of Protest, along with the 10th anniversary re-release of The Redemption of Scrooge.

Our conversation explores the provocative and challenging message of Isaiah—especially what happens when faith communities move beyond simply including marginalized people and instead center their voices, experiences, and needs. We also discuss accessibility in the church, considering how physical spaces, social practices, and community expectations can either create barriers or embody a truly expansive welcome.

Along the way, Matt invites us to wrestle with what it means to hear the prophets today, rethink who occupies the center of our communities, and imagine a church where belonging is more than an invitation—it shapes who we become.

The episode launches a new series on the Letter to the Hebrews, focusing on chapters 1–3. The Beards establish that Paul did not write Hebrews, frame it as a pastoral sermon rather than a guiding letter, and use Hebrews 1:1–4 as a lens to explore who Jesus is and what it means to live connected to Christ in daily life.
