Here's our Thanksgiving episode with some vital jazzercise energy and a whole lot of carnitas-shaking—you're welcome for that visual. But then we got into the real stuff: like how exhausting it is when every single day brings another thing that would've ended any other administration, and how our outrage sensors are so fried we might miss the moment things shift from "different in degree" to "different in kind." We talked about ICE raids emptying classrooms and what it means to show up for our neighbors. But since Bo told me we had to do gratitude, we pivoted to the stuff that fills us up—mentors who shaped us, the regulars who show up in the chat every week, and the beautiful weirdos at Theology Beer Camp. I shared how the homebrewed grannies became a spontaneous hug ministry for folks returning to church after being hurt, and honestly, my eyes watered while reading about it.   You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube ⁠Sign up HERE to stay up to date on Theology Beer Camp 2026 & get EARLY ACCESS to the cheapest tickets.⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠UPCOMING ONLINE ADVENT CLASS w/ Diana Butler Bass⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join us for a transformative four-week Advent journey exploring how the four gospels speak their own revolutionary word against empire—both in their ancient context under Roman occupation and for our contemporary world shaped by capitalism, militarism, and nationalism.  Advent marks the beginning of the church year—an invitation to step out of the empire's time and into God's time, where the last are first, the mighty are scattered, and a child born in occupied territory changes everything. This course invites you into an alternative calendar and rhythm. While our modern world races through December toward consumption and productivity, Advent calls us to a different time—a counter-imperial waiting, a subversive hope, a radical reimagining of how God enters the world. What will we experience? Each week, we'll hear one gospel's unique vision of the birth narrative, allowing Matthew, Luke, John, and Mark to speak in their own voices about what it means for God to show up when empires think they're in control. We'll discover how these ancient texts of resistance offer wisdom for our own moment of political turmoil, economic inequality, and ecological crisis. This class is donation-based, including 0.
