Progressive Southern Theologians podcast

Take 3


Listen Later

In today's show, the guys welcome the Rev. Dr. Jonathan LeMaster-Smith, UMC pastor, academic, and expert in all things having to do with the rural South. In the first segment, Marc, Jamie, and Jonathan talk about the ecclesial politics around LGBTQIA+ inclusion, Dr. Seuss, and Morgan Wallen. The segment ends with our take on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me--Southern Edition in which the guys discuss the propriety of squirrel in Brunswick Stew, the best recipe for souse meat, and the greatness of Ric Flair. In the second segment, attention turns to the lack of rural access to quality healthcare and the success of the recently completed pilot program in Stockton, CA in which 175 families were given $500-a-month, no strings attached in hopes that this would allow the families to experience better (and fuller) employment, reduced familial anxiety, and a greater sense of wholeness. In between segments, Jamies offers up the quickest blessing of hearts in the history of the show and of course there will be some musings from the front porch. Having tried to get Jonathan on the show two previous times only to have technical difficulties during the interview, this third take is a great success (and conversation.)
