Rev. Dr. Nichole Torbitzky is a professor of religion with an expertise in atonement theory. Basically, she has thought long and hard about why bad things happen to good people and studied the Christian scriptures to uncover if the conventionally held idea that Jesus had to die for our sins, is "truth." She offers an interpretation of scripture that is liberating and life giving. She makes a convincing case that God is love, and we are expressions of that love. This is a theological conversation offered in really accessible words. If you've ever thought that Christian teachings are out of sync with what you know about reality, take a listen!
Jonathan Foster talks with host Beth Hayward about the death of his daughter in a car accident just as her adult life was beginning. He invites us to see our losses and the ensuing grief as a companion that never leaves but shapes us in new and surprising ways. This episode is heavy but not depressing. Jonathan offers his experience of loss and its learnings as a gift to all of us who know what it is to love and lose.
Jonathan Foster is a brilliant podcaster, a wise thinker, and genuinely grounded human being. We talk about the lie that 'I'm innocent and you're guilty,' the lie of our separateness, and the way you have nothing to lose when you've lost the most precious gift of life. Oh...and we talk about God in pretty refreshing way.

Kintsler is an academic and writer. In July 2021 she published at article in the New York Times entitled "Can Silicon Valley Find God?" In it she makes a compelling case for all of us to pay a bit better attention to who is determining the ethics of the digital world. Should religious voices be at the AI table? Does religion have anything to offer in the realm of computer science and business?
