#51: Election

from Sunday Morning Matinee Hosted by Matt Gaventa & Adam Hearlson

On the eve of the US midterm election, Adam and Matt talk with Duke Divinity School professor, Jerusha Matsen Neal about honesty, authenticity, destiny, and Alexander Payne's 1999 film, Election. In the first segment, Justification by Faith, the group discusses what Election has to do with life, ministry and the world. The conversation revolves around ideas of election, the trauma at the heart of the movie, and how our deepest desires manifest in terrible ways. In the second segment, Preaching to the Choir, the group discuss the intersections of Election and the lectionary passages for October 11th. In the final segment, Postludes, Matt talks about video games and Adam talks about genies. If the midterm results did little to quell your anxiety, well then distract yourself with a little Technicolor Jesus!
