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:
On Wednesday, January 6, a mob of violent angry citizens charged the nation's Capitol. Many of them justified their attack based on disproved conspiracy theories and lies about our election process, system, and results. Rabbi Eric and Rev. Joel wonder and wander through topics of truth (and Truth) and discuss how religion deals with this difficult topic.
