Theology Upstream Podcasts are a series of conversations hosted by two young(-ish) clergy, Rev. Ben and Rev. Chrissy, who are convinced that good theology still has something to say to people living their lives in the real world. With that conviction, Chrissy and Ben seek to read theological books and put their learnings into conversation with lived-experience.  Preparing for our 2018-19 study, Awakening the Body, Chrissy and Ben are publishing a series of conversations on Kate Bowler’s best seller, Everything Happens for a Reason: and Other Lies I’ve Loved.In this second episode Chrissy and Ben confess to loving the lie that they can do anything and everything.  In that confession, they wrestle with what it means to be Americans living in a pressure cooker of perfectionism and to be honest about their humanity (therefore their limitations and imperfections).  What are yours?
