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 Begins
Wednesday Jan 12, 2022
Wednesday Jan 12, 2022
Season 3 begins! This season, Eric and Joel will 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 today - What's more important in a congregation... the congregational relationships regardless of faith differences OR the commonality of our faith/belief even at the expense of some relationships?
Joel's issue today - A Methodist pastor was fired after expressing LGBTQ inclusion in a very big way. What is the responsibility of clergy to accommodate the current beliefs or preferences of a congregation, versus to embody and express the truth of the gospel even if people might reject it and you as their clergy?
