About this Podcast:

Theology is not just something we study in books or articles or debate in academic ivory towers. It is something we live, breathe, and practice in the messiness and creative chaos of our lives. Whether you are ordained clergy, a lay person like me discerning their calling to ministry, an artist seeking to understand the sacred in your work, or someone curious about how theology intersects the world around us, this podcast has got you.
