Gatorade + Gummie Bears Part 1
Laura and Tanya dive face first into the narcissist face off between Carl Lentz and his mate of 3 seconds Russell Brand in the recent episode of Brand's podcast.

A Nerdy Brain pt 2
We talk a lot about white supremacy in the churches and Christian nationalism. But we rarely hear what it's like for someone from a refugee background, with brown skin who has been in the congregation and willing to speak truth to power. Truth to power. An important concept for those who aren't the ones telling the stories usually, because they're not the ones with the power. I'm so excited to hear from the brave, smart, and peace seeking, Bee on what all those smilling faces in all those crowds...
