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 6 - 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 - A Catholic priest is corrected and resigns for using "we baptize" instead of "I baptize" in the church liturgy. All those baptisms were considered null as well. What is the church saying or protecting by holding this line so vehemently?

Joel's issue - A Jewish couple was blocked for an adoption in Tennessee by a Christian adoption service for faith reasons. How can a Christian organization block anything Jewish when Jesus was/is a Jew?
