Not sure if you noticed, but the state of our world and Christianity seems to be a bit of a dumpster fire. So in this week's episode Drs Lindsey Scott and Michael Toy from Moravian University's School of Theology, stop by to discuss how a healthy theology can help.

Author Tiffany Yecke Brooks joins us to discuss her book "To Rebehold the Stars: Reimagining Faith and Formation After Deconstruction".

"Brooks helps readers find their way forward after faith deconstruction. She likens the process to Dante's ascent from the underworld: when he emerges from the depths, he steps out into an expansive space where he can "rebehold the stars." Encountering God anew is at the heart of Brooks's approach to faith formation after deconstruction. She teaches readers how to enliven their religious vocabulary, cultivate fresh spiritual practices, recognize holiness in unexpected places, find new faith communities, and more."

My new friend Maggie shares her first hand experience with ICE raids in Minneapolis and what it looks like to take christian neighborliness seriously.
