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 14 - 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 - After the Uvalde shooting, do we have too much freedom? Are we using our personal freedom (rights?) in opposition to our own communities? How can we tip the balance back to where our communities support our healthy personal rights and freedoms, and our personal freedoms build up our safe and healthy communities?
Scandinavia and their Ability to Balance Freedom and Responsibility
Joel's issue - Has our work become our faith? Is work replacing faith/religion as our primary community of purpose? Do we measure our value on the planet by our work and pay instead of by our integrity, ethic, truth, and wholeness. Instead of making lives better, we immerse ourselves in making our product, service, or checking account better. What happens when this religion of work fails us? Where is grace in the corporate world?
