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!

Season 3, Episode 3 - This season, Eric and Joel bring one (fairly) current topic each, and wonder together what our response to these issues might be from our perspectives of faith.
Eric's issue - Administrators at a Georgia school censored a teacher's display of a child's artwork. Is a rainbow the same as a swastika? When a school policy in inclusion, how can the administrators practice censorship of inclusion? How much power should we give complainers in a community, as opposed to standing firm in the face of misguided complaints?
Administrators Accused of Removing LGBTQ Artwork at Athens School - Flagpole
Joel's issue - Our perception of risk from COVID is biased... not by science or faith... but by POLITICS! Why? Why can we not believe scientific truth, without distorting it through our political preference filters?
