Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan take up the topic of "reconciliation or conciliation." Can two ethnic groups reconcile if one side hasn't (can't? won't?) even formally admitted there's a problem? How much responsibility do woke white men have in this discussion? Is Ashley about to start a new fad with trap worship?

Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan begin to look at the idea of "wokeness" and "allyship" as it pertains to race. Ryan has a hard time saying "nah" and Ashley let's us in the one cat she actually liked! #Fritz4Life

Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan continue their conversation with Dr. Robin DiAngelo, author of What Does It Mean to Be White and Is Everyone Really Equal, about prejudice, racism, discrimination, white fragility, and white privilege. Dr. DiAngelo received her PhD in Whiteness Studies from University of Washington in 2004, and she's been wrestling with her own whiteness for even longer as a diversity trainer.

Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan spend time with some listener feedback exploring the aspect of deconstruction and reconstruction. While we at WTD tend to focus on deconstruction that often leaves us asking "where's the hope?" and "what's the point?" which is topics the WTD team briefly tries to address.

Awwwww snap, the WTD team went and did it again....they hit record! This b-side deals with the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary photo that hit Twitter on April 27, 2017. Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan talk about what went down, what it means, and why it happened. Ashley and Ryan stumble on to a new podcast name in the process, same acronym with a bit more kick - WTD!

Alright so now we’re wrestling with what is masculine, what is feminine, and how we’re conditioning sociologically to understand gender and sexuality in particular ways. Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan continue trying to deconstruct the intersectionality of sexuality and gender while also trying to reconstruct some aspect of how to move forward with this conversation in society and the church.

Like LL Cool J said, "Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years"! The WTD picks the mic back up after a 2 week hiatus and they start to wrestle with what it means to be masculine and/or feminine. Yeah, we said "and/or" but you'll have to listen to find out what that means.
