Rainn Wilson Tells Me Where I'm Wrong on Spirituality

“Whenever I'm about to do something, I think 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would, I do not do that thing.” - Dwight Schrute, The Office In an age of cultural division and religious disagreement, many people feel that talking to someone with a different perspective on faith is, well, something an idiot would do. But today’s episode of The Russell Moore Show tells a different story as Russell welcomes Rainn Wilson, best known for his iconic performance as Dwight Schrute, to the podcast. Wilson is fascinated by spirituality. In fact, he’s the co-founder of SoulPancake, which develops content rooted in human connection (remember Kid President?), and the author of the book Soul Boom. Moore and Wilson’s conversation covers pop culture depictions of religion, Wilson’s upbringing in the Baháʼí Faith, and what it was like to skyrocket from relative obscurity to fame. They talk about trying to discuss religion in Hollywood, what transcendence means, and whether or not the longing for justice points to a judgment day. And they consider what it might look like to encourage today’s young people to consider the role of faith in their lives. Resources discussed during this episode include: SoulPancake Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution by Rainn Wilson The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron Pre-order Russell’s new title, Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America, here!

Sho Baraka: The Promise We Never Kept

Artist, author, and cultural commentator Sho Baraka joins Benjamin Watson to kick off Season 2 of The Just Life for a powerful conversation on faith, history, and justice. Drawing from his upbringing during the Rodney King era and his time at Tuskegee University, Sho shares how his understanding of injustice was formed. Together, they examine his Christianity Today article "The Broken Promise of 40 Acres and a Mule", exploring the biblical and moral questions surrounding reparations, why these conversations remain so contentious, and what justice rooted in faith looks like beyond repentance, toward repair. The conversation also unpacks Sho’s idea of “the gold and the shadow,” challenging listeners to tell the whole truth about America, the church, and the stories we inherit.

He’s been sick for a month and isn’t improving. An intern tries something medicine is only beginning to trust: they look at his blood under a microscope. His cells look nothing like anything they’ve seen before.Nearly a hundred years later, that moment sets the stage for what could become the biggest medical breakthrough in human history—one powerful enough to explain our past, rewrite our future, and spark a battle that reaches the White House.

Jemar Tisby: The History the Church Avoids

In this episode of The Just Life, Benjamin sits down with historian, author, and speaker Dr. Jemar Tisby to discuss the inseparable link between faith and justice. Together, they dive deep into the American church's complicated history with racism and how understanding the past is essential for interpreting the present. Jemar challenges the traditional narrative of the Jim Crow era, reframing it as a time of Black institution building and resilience. They also tackle hot-button issues like DEI, the "Marxist" label in evangelical circles, and the difference between "repeating" and "rhyming" history. Whether you are looking for language to articulate your experiences or seeking practical steps to make wrong things right, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and hope. Key Topics Discussed: Reframing History: Why Jemar views the Jim Crow era not just as a time of segregation, but as the "Black Institution Building Era. Does History Repeat? The difference between history repeating and history rhyming, with examples from the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to modern immigration policies. The DEI Debate: Understanding the historical backlash to Black progress (from the Wilmington Coup to modern corporate boycotts). Jamar’s Journey: Growing up in Waukegan, the culture shock of the Mississippi Delta, and the tension of being a Black Christian in predominantly white evangelical spaces. Labels in the Church: Unpacking why terms like "Marxist" and "Woke" are weaponized against Christians pursuing social justice. Defining Racism: A clear working definition: Prejudice + Power. Hope for Repair: How we can unmake racism by forming communities of belonging.
