Read MoreToday we talk with David Finnegan-Hosey, a college chaplain who’s written about his experience with inpatient treatment for Bipolar Disorder. We hear about that experience and then take a deep dive into his latest book, Grace Is A Pre-Existing Condition: Faith, Systems, and Mental Healthcare. We talk about seeing sick systems instead of sick people, ‘thoughts and prayers’, and how faith communities can care for those with mental health concerns while helping to change harmful systemic problems.
Read MoreWhat role do things like social media, streaming content, and other new media play in shaping our faith lives? How do we have productive conversations about it? Is this even worth considering? Rev. Dr. Angela Gorrell (author of Always On: Practicing Faith in a New Media Landscape) stops by to talk about these questions and more. Angela’s uniquely qualified to talk about the issues, having been a pastor, taught college courses on social media, & more.
One note: if the intro sounds like it’s a week behind, that’s because it is. This episode was supposed to air last week but got pushed back due to sick kids.
