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 5 - 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 - Can we love the art and reject the artist? When we need to hold an artist or leader accountable, do we cancel their art as well? If a sexual predator wrote songs for worship, can we continue to use those songs in worship? If we can't listen to Michael Jackson records, can we still read Moses or Paul?
Joel's issue - Homelessness. How should people of faith, any faith, respond to others around them who find themselves wandering without a home? In Joel's area, there are several agencies of faith or government attempting to respond to homelessness. What is the smart way to respond, and why is it so hard?
