Notes From The Other Side

Join Tiziana, Andy, and guest host Ryan Garcia as they break down the 2017 bombshell paper on the interpolation of the Martha character in John chapter 11. This episode is JUICY ya'll, and includes some really significant theological implications, not the least of which is the significance of Lazarus' sister MARY in the 4th gospel.

Everyone's favorite non-binary bae is back! So many of you reached out about Ryan after their June testimony episode, I decided to have them back for a second conversation. If you missed Ryan's first episode, I encourage you to give that a listen then come back to hear the sequel.

Tune in for the riveting follow up to our last swapcast, where Rick, Andy, and special guest Rick Carter addressed the question "is it faith IN Christ or the faithfulness OF Christ that justifies us?" Here the crew follows up with a critical look at Romans and explores the implications of Universalism.

Welcome to the first ever Burros/Notes "special teams unit" episode. Andy, Rick, Tiziana and Burros of Berea podcast regular Rick Carter met up in the studio and ended up stepping out of their respective studies on their respective shows to do a fun mash up episode on a surprise topic. This turned into such a juicy conversation you're going to want to come back in two weeks to hear how it all turned out.

As we close out Pride month the Notes crew sat down with Ryan Garcia, minister of music at Land of the Sky United Church of Christ to hear more about their testimony. Ryan is many things - a wonderful musician, a proud parent and spouse, a social work supervisor in county government for Aging and Adult services , and a self described follower of "the way" of Jesus. Ryan is also queer and gender non conforming, and has spent a lifetime trying to figure out what it means to be both of these things in Christians spaces that have consistently forbidden them to be their authentic self. Ryan graciously shared their incredible story, and I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!!

Happy almost Juneteenth friends! In this episode, the Notes crew sit down in studio with some special guests to talk about the history of Juneteenth, racism in America, and the role the Church could be playing in healing the racial divide.
