Today we're chatting with Alison Fabricius who wrote an incredibly helpful book called "Unapologetically Alison". We'll dive into inner child work, talk about the purpose of Jesus, and work to invite each part of ourselves to the table - even the parts we typically despise or the world around us says aren't good enough. Give it a listen!

This week we sit down with Rose Hackman to talk about her amazing book, "Emotional Labor". I told her upfront that as a white male this topic was (sadly) never on my mind and so I purposely took the role of her student - to ask some questions, reflect on her answers, and learn as much as I could in an effort to make my tiny part of the world a better place. This is a good one, enjoy!

This is our first regular episode since February. We'll continue bi-weekly until October/November and then (likely) resume our regular weekly episodes. Thanks for your love and encouragement and flexibility as my family and I navigate this season of grief and change.

That said, today we connect with Bart Ehrman about his book, "Armageddon". He talks to us about Revelation, the end of the world, and the Left Behind series.

Buckle up and enjoy!

It’s the final installment of our “Pride Podcast Takeover”. When my father passed away in March my friend Leo WT from Conversations Official offered to record a few solo episodes for Pride where they share a bit about their story and their passions revolving around Queer Theology, their recently completed thesis … and so much more. Leo is an incredible friend and is doing excellent work in the world. Listen in on this episode where they share a bit about their thesis, the intersection of theology and scientific discovery, and how theology is much more queer than we’ve been led to believe.

We're handing the mic over to Leo WT from Conversations Official for part 2 of the series they're doing for us for Pride. That's right, Leo is taking over the show to drop some wisdom on us and today they're taking us down the rabbit hole of Queer Theology. What is it? Why is it important? Does it matter? Is it really ... a thing? Glad you asked, pull up a chair and buckle up.
