October 11, 2016 Matter Matters & Other Matters with Nathan Cleveland
This week’s episode features a conversation with Nathan Cleveland. We discuss his evangelical childhood, our time at the Mystery College, the mystery and power of the Eucharist, the limitations of certainty, and perhaps most importantly, he and I relish in the proper pronunciation of the word ‘evangelical.’ This talk features adult language, so don’t play it around your kiddos or anyone else’s kiddos. You can follow the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram @exvangelicalpod. You can also support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/exvangelicalpod. Intro Music: "The Fleecing" by Pedro the Lion Interlude: "Timebomb" by The Whitest Boy Alive Outro Music: "Be Here Now" by Ray LaMontagne
