Faith Healing Rachel Godfrey

Special guest Alannah Johnson shares memories from their bat mitzvah, gender and Orthodox Judaism, and the power of minyans. (No, not the little yellow guys!) Also, we discuss ethical animal treatment and the theological argument for going meatless, as well as our favorite real - and fictional - creatures.

Director Jeremy Seghers talks about his life as a pastor's kid, his early roles in church plays, a close encounter with Trump's "pastor," and how Steven Spielberg became his career goals and fashion icon. We also delve into some of his favorite portrayals of faith on-stage, including Equus and The Christians, and we discuss the stage craft and merits of passion plays.

Plus, who remembers Carman and his strange yet epic operettas? (He met a witch in one of them!) And why did Jeremy own three Miss Piggy puppets?

Are wealth and health proof of God’s blessings? Pastor and Author Emmy Kegler examines the appeal and pitfalls of prosperity gospel. Later, we find out which former member of dc Talk is a socialist and wonder why 2000s evangelicals loved The Matrix so much! 

Note: I know the difference between analogy and allegory, and I meant that The Matrix is an allegory for the trans experience. Chalk it up to nerves!
