In our third episode, Joel talks about the kind of Christmas that goes beyond carols, gifts, and sugar cookies. Joel describes that Christmas is meant to be a challenge for each of us to bring about God's kingdom. Eric talks briefly about the Jewish idea of a messiah. Following this conversation, we talk to our listeners about our podcast.

Getting Better (We'd Better Be)

A Rabbi and a Reverend walk into a podcast... and talk REAL about religion.

We are Rabbi Eric Linder and Reverend Joel Tolbert. We became colleagues and friends in 2012 when we both found ourselves serving congregations near Athens, GA. We were founding members of an area Interfaith group that grew from seven to over sixty clergy. Today, we live in different states but come together here to discuss faith, God, religion, entertainment, and tech. We’ll dive into the social, cultural, political, and topical too. We have quick minds, sharp tongues, and good hearts, and we hope you enjoy being a part of these conversations!
