  • Episode 25: The Events at the Capitol & the Importance of Making Room on the Pew

    Welcome to Season 3! It’s time to make a change. It’s time to lay down our pride and our weapons, whether they be words, guns, or the Bible, and settle in for hard conversations. It’s time to gather around the campfire, halfway between our camp and theirs, and bring an open heart and curious mind.

    I am longing for a community who prioritizes love over hate and people over theology—maybe you are too?
