    Episode 269 – Elesha Coffman
    Oct 6 2024
    Confession time – I’m not a big history buff. As critical as I know it is, it’s never really been my thing, but…when I came across this title by Elesha Coffman, I knew I had to get it in my hands and read it! And I’m so glad I did! Turning Points in American Church … Continue reading Episode 269 – Elesha Coffman

    Episode 268 – Erin Weber-Johnson
    Sep 30 2024
    A few years ago, offline, a guest mentioned a term that represented a concept that put a metaphorical pebble in my shoe – “philanthropic redlining.” I knew a bit of the history of redlining from real estate practices in the U.S., and of course I also knew, generally, what philanthropy was, but to hear them … Continue reading Episode 268 – Erin Weber-Johnson

    Episode 267 – Amy Dixon & Rob Dixon
    Sep 23 2024
    This conversation is (checks notes) the first where I talked with a husband and wife together, in this case, co-authors! Amy Dixon and Rob Dixon joined me to celebrate the release of their illustrated children’s book, Penny Preaches, which chronicles a fictional little girl (representative of so many women who feel called to preaching ministry, … Continue reading Episode 267 – Amy Dixon & Rob Dixon

    Episode 261 – Grace Ji-Sun Kim
    Sep 16 2024
    This week I was joined by theologian Grace Ji-Sun Kim. Her newest book (she’s published so many!) is When God Became White. If you’re intrigued by the title already, you’re not alone. Grace writes, not only as a scholar and theologian, but also from her perspective as a Korean immigrant who grew up in Canada … Continue reading Episode 261 – Grace Ji-Sun Kim

    Episode 265 – Jim Wallis
    Sep 8 2024
    I am so thrilled to host Jim Wallis again on the podcast! (It’s a special bonus for me because the date of this release marks 5 YEARS THE PODCAST!)

    Episode 264 – Andrew Krinks
    Sep 2 2024
    Andrew Krinks has been on the podcast before and both times, he has managed to take a topic I have thought about often and deeply and add depth and breadth that I hadn’t yet considered. (His wife, Lindsey did the same thing for me with this conversation on homelessness.) The first time, Andrew and I … Continue reading Episode 264 – Andrew Krinks

    Episode 263 – Sarah Stankorb
    Aug 25 2024
    This conversation is over a year in the making. When I first heard about this project last spring, I was intrigued and completely unprepared to read this book, much less do an interview. What Sarah Stankorb has done in Disobedient Women is extraordinary. For fans of Kristen Kobes Du Mez’s Jesus and John Wayne, you’ll … Continue reading Episode 263 – Sarah Stankorb

    Episode 262 – Sarah Westfall
    Aug 19 2024
    Reading through Sarah Westfall’s book, The Way of Belonging, felt like making an instant friend! It felt like making a friend who also struggles with new friendships, what it means to belong, and who is also a huge fan of Henri Nouwan (more on that in the episode!). Sarah is asking questions I think many … Continue reading Episode 262 – Sarah Westfall
