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!

How practical is it to STOP one day a week and just rest? And how do we define sabbath rest? Is it okay to push an elevator button, or help a stray animal, or drive to the store? The problem of Sabbath is a direct challenge to our culture of produce, excel, consume. Rabbi Eric and Reverend Joel wonder about the origins and purpose of Sabbath, and why so many people avoid it entirely or take it too far.
