Join Carol for an engaging conversation about unjust suffering and oppression with Rev. Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim.  Her book "Colonialism, Han, and the Transformative Spirit" guides our podcast discussion using the Korean concept of han (unjust suffering) to shed light on our theological understanding of power and its abuse.  Grace Ji-Sun Kim is a Korean-American theologian, professor, blogger, and author.  

Tony Kriz, who infamously appeared in Donald Miller's books under the name "Tony the Beat Poet"has discovered the abiding presence of Jesus in the lives and words of people from diverse (and often radically unchristian) sources.

Through the pages of Neighbors and Wise Men, Tony guides the reader through Muslim lands, radically anti-religious academia and post-Christian cultures to discover a God who speaks with generosity and creativity.  Our conversation with Tony is filled with stories and inspiring thoughts on what we can learn from "deChristians" and others outside of the Christian faith.

UNCO is an unconfernce for church leaders, pastors, families, and seminarians. It is three days of worship and open space discussion on the church and its future. Today we chat about the past, present, and future of this incredible conference opportunity with Shannon Meacham.  You can also follow Shannon's musings at her Pulpit Shenanigans blog.
