We've got our first celebrity guest!!! Jonathan Rundman is acclaimed singer/songwriter/rocker. You might have heard him on the Ellen Degeneres Show or NPR's Mountain Stage. He's also closely connected to and cares about the church/religion/faith/Christianity/Lutheranism. We talk about sacred/secular music, Dad rock, and talk some Chuck Berry. In the end there's a playlist featuring Jonathan Rundman, Neil Young, Joan Osborne, and, of course, Blind Melon!!!

This week on the pod Matt+Zach go under the cover of darkness to talk about Nicodemus. Is Nicodemus wrong? Is he asking questions or making a confession? What if we can be born again? We end up with an R.E.M. heavy podcast, but don’t let that distract you from the debut of The Vinyl Preacher favorite…Leon Bridges. Fire. Straight soul fire.

This week the Vinyl Preacher is coming out of the Pacific Northwest. Casey Kloehn is the Lutheran pastor part of the Belfry Lutheran/Epsicopal deal at UC Davis. She provides stunning insight on the transfiguration and on the place of Detlef Schrempf's place in the cultural zeitgeist. I promise we talk about Matthew's transfiguration, but first we need to get some OJ talk out of the way.

Important developments in the lives of M+Z...baptizing their babies. How do you do it when you're the pastor? Who should baptize who? How can we make the baptism about us rather than our babies (and God)? (<-- this was a joke.) Joining us is the best friend of the pod the Reverend Radam Berndt, Lutheran pastor in ABQ, NM. He's got good liturgical sense and a couple of baptized children. In other words, an expert. In the end there's a playlist with Kanye, Percy Sledge, John Hiatt, and Brandi Carlile.

The Beatitudes. This week on the pod Matt+Zach get political. Dive into the theological implications of the Women's March. We talk briefly about our favorite women; Lydia, Dorcas, & Phoebe, before we get to the real juicy stuff...etymology. What exactly does 'Blessed' mean? In the end there's a playlist featuring Wilco, Lupe Fiasco, Big Sean,
