In this episode, Brandi is joined by author and storyteller Mariko Clark to talk about how we learn empire and the development of imperial values in how we raise our children and really, how we learn as adults what was never explicitly framed for us. They talk about how the bible is used as a tool to entrench children's thinking into the ways of empire and some of the ways that we can do differently.

In this inaugural episode of Reclaiming [our] Theology from Empire, Brandi is joined by Scott Hall of White People Work to talk about the basics of empire in and out of scripture. This episode was recorded a few months before the 2024 U.S. General Election, so there is conversation about the impact of empire on politics in real time as well as at a more micro/individual level.
