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!

This week, Joel & Eric talk about taking text and scripture text literally vs metaphorically.
Here are a few examples that they use to “break open” (metaphorically, of course) this topic :)
- Do not put a stumbling block before the blind. (Leviticus 19:14)
- Do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk (Exodus 23:19)
- Do not lie with a male as one does with a woman (Leviticus 18:22)
- All men are created equal
They also talk about hamburgers, Supreme Court justices, Star Wars, and Joel’s continued inability to get an Xbox.
*Note: Joel's Mic settings were a bit off this episode. Apologies for the odd sound behind his voice, and promises to do better in Season 2!
