The Oikon Podcast without a Name

Oikon United Methodist Church

Oikon is a covenant community devoted to formation and justice while sharing plenty of laughs along the way. Hang with Oikon's cast of characters - Pastor Mike, lay theologians Demetrius, SJ and the crew as they provide nuance and sauce to our weekly sermons, and talk various theological perspectives (esoteric and pragmatic). This could get nerdy.

Name drops in this episode include Ja Rule, Gov.
