Megan and Joel are back after their extended summer hiatus to talk about blasphemy, nationalism and more fun party favors.

This week, Megan and Joel talk about their fathers as well as the complicated nature of fatherhood and celebrating it for some of us. Thanks, Papa Romer and Sharpton for helping to make us who we are!

Whether it’s moving to a new town, finding a church for the very first time, or leaving the denomination or tradition you were raised in, finding the church that fits your theology (or at least welcomes it) is tough, especially if you’re not an introvert.

We’re back from our unintended hiatus with updates on tornado recovery in Ruston and most especially Megan’s trip to Cuba! Hear about her experience, Cuban life as well as ideas for how you and your congregation can get active as the hands of feet of Jesus.

Megan’s mentions are trash now, but the goal has been met and the three St. Landry Parish Black churches that were burned by an arson earlier this month, have met their funding goal. What’s next for Megan’s crusade of social media Robin Hooding?

Megan and Joel wrestle with Friday night and pray for Sunday morning. They discuss their history with the Lenten season and how they celebrate it now as parents and progressive Christians.

Megan and Joel discuss the news of these fires, the systemic issues that make this a less noticeable issue than it should be, and what we can do as churches and individuals to help today and tomorrow.

Where and when did you first consider God’s gender? Does it even make sense to gender the 4th Dimensional Creator of the Universe? Megan and Joel discuss their own experiences around this question and point to some resources to help with why it matters and what it means for a modern Christian.
