    Are we Great Again Yet?

    This week on The God Squad with Dillon & Desimber — we’re talking about what happens when the people in power keep rolling back rights while telling us everything is “fine.” The Supreme Court keeps carving pieces out of the Voting Rights Act, gas prices are squeezing working families dry, another endless war machine is spinning up around Iran, and somehow the loudest voices in American Christianity still seem more concerned with culture wars than actual human suffering. So what is the Church supposed to do in a moment like this? What does the Body of Christ look like when democracy feels fragile, equality is under attack, and truth itself is being auctioned off for political power? Tonight we’re diving into the headlines, the theology, the hypocrisy, and the hope. Because following Jesus was never supposed to mean sitting quietly while empire burns the neighborhood down.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    #085: Baptized In Tear Gas - A Conversation with Author & Abolitionist Rev. Elle Dowd

    Some faith conversations stay safe. This one… probably won’t. We’re sitting down with Elle Dowd, author of Baptized in Tear Gas — a voice unafraid to wrestle with what happens when faith collides with protest, justice, and the lived realities of oppression. Because let’s be honest… Following Jesus has never been about comfort. It’s about courage. This conversation will hold tension.. what happens when what is sacred becomes disruptive? What is reverent becomes unfiltered? Are we willing to show up when it actually costs something or have we gotten comfortable in the pews? Pull up. Lean in. And maybe… let it unsettle you a little.
