In this wide-ranging and deeply honest conversation, Matt Russell sits down with The Rt. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle, the ninth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, to explore what it means to live faithfully in an age marked by polarization, digital noise, and spiritual disconnection.

Drawing from his background as an artist, pastor, author, and public theologian, Bishop Doyle reflects on:

• How technology forms—and often malforms—our imaginations

• Why embodied community, nature, and real relationships matter more than ever

• The difference between charity and justice

• The church’s calling to offer a different imagination than the culture around us

• Why leaning into community, mercy, and service changes us

• How discipleship must evolve in a world facing inequality, climate pressures, and isolation

He also shares stories from his newest book Unabashed Faith, reflects on reconciliation, creativity, and public theology, and even talks Jeeps, camping, and the spirituality of being outdoors.

This episode is a hopeful, challenging, and grounding invitation to imagine a new way forward—one rooted in mercy, dignity, justice, and the presence of Christ in the everyday.
