Faith Uncut

Harriet

This week, Mike and Amera discuss Harriet Tubman, the movie and the hero. Who was Harriet Tubman? Why is she so iconic? They discuss the controversy around the casting and the important conversation it caused. 

Jesus is King. Kanye Wants the Throne.

Kanye is back. That’s it. That’s the description. 

Under the Text

There is a danger to being unseen. The bible is full of stories with memorable protagonists like Jesus, Moses, and Abraham. The stories also contain others. What happens when we see things from the perspective of the other people in these biblical stories? Is the main character as heroic? Does God look like the same God? 

 

This week, we’re looking at those characters who are not the main characters of the story. We are exploring what life is like for them and what that means for us. We’re looking at the people under the text. 

BGLOs and Biblical Interpretation w/Dr. Asa Lee

We’re joined again by the Rev. Dr. Asa Lee, Associate Dean at Wesley Theological Seminary. We discuss the phenomenon of Black Greek Letter Organization (BGLO) denunciation videos and how the bible is misused to make the case. The Greeks are in the studio to set the record straight.

The Education Problem w/Rev. Dr. Asa Lee

This week, Rev. Dr. Asa Lee joins us to discuss the reason there is a difference between what is heard in the pulpit and what is taught in religious institutions. We’re looking at the education problem and learning what it will take to bridge the gap. 

Spiritual Fluidity

This week, Mike and Amera discuss navigating multiple religious traditions in a culture that prioritizes singular religious expression. They look at what it means for your faith as you open it to more, how it could be received and the advantages and disadvantages to spiritual fluidity.
