We open the show with a beautiful rendition of the story of Baylor Sword Poet, Isaac’s Twitter handle. Plus, Carrie goes in on Lord of the Rings fans (our most contentious take yet?) and we learn why Winter is a basic-ass metaphor to spell out in your poem, and all before we start the show! Then, instead of pointing and laughing at people on Twitter for the whole pod, we share some genuinely positive and constructive thoughts about deconstructing theology and faith in marginalized communities and some resources you can use to start a practice of observing advent.
