Marta &amp; Mandy are joined by “cathedral deans and musical theatre queens” Nathan LeRud and Peter Elliott, the hosts of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gospel-of-musical-theatre/id1565558402">The Gospel of Musical Theatre</a>, a podcast that takes a deep dive into musicals classic and contemporary, examining the intersection of musical theatre, spirituality, culture, and justice. 
In this episode, we talk about performing and authenticity in our liturgical work. Nathan and Peter give a thoughtful exegesis of the musical Oklahoma! as an example of the kinds of discussions they have on the podcast. We discuss the ways that exploring these beloved musicals, in much the way that exploring the bible, forces us to ask questions about what is redeemable about our beloved stories, and what simply isn’t. What does it take to love our favorite musicals, and our biblical stories, more wholeheartedly and more honestly? This is an episode that you don’t want to miss!

Rev. Dr. Wil Gafney is here!

For way too long, Jesus, the radical revolutionary of the Gospels, has been held hostage by a domesticated, polite, and watered-down church. What does it mean to follow Jesus? How do we leave the comforts of our old and familiar church life and do the hard work that Jesus is calling us to do? How can we reclaim the identity of "Christian" as the revolutionary way of Jesus? In this podcast, Marta and Mandy explore these questions in order to help bring about God's kin-dom, on earth as it is in heaven.
