July 11, 2021Lazarus
What better way to kick off our Farewell Season (note: this is not an actual farewell) than to unpack a story about Lazarus in which even Jesus didn’t want to say farewell. In this resurrection amuse-bouche of a story, we revisit some familiar characters while exploring enneagram fours as biblical authors, Jewish burial practices, and how to contain your eye-rolling when your rabbi is full of riddles.

July 04, 2021 Bonus: Interview with PreachersNSneakers
Lace up those Yeezys and polish that Gucci belt because in this very special interview episode of Favored or Forsaken, Knox sits down with Ben Kirby of PreachersNSneakers. We’re no strangers to asking any and all questions surrounding faith, and through discussing his Instagram account and recent book, Ben Kirby explores why it is helpful to question celebrity church culture. Join Knox and Ben as they discuss things like whether we might have a responsibility for putting pastors in unwinnable positions and how to safely engage with someone who has the phrase “coffee and Jesus” in their Instagram profile.

Host Erin Moon is Bold as Love as she explores John Mayer’s Shadow Days, Katy Perry conspiracy theories, and what to do when you can’t Say What You Need to Say.
