002: David Larsen on Christian Placemaking

In this thought-provoking episode of Working Theology, hosts Brandon Giella and Parker Smith engage with special guest, David Larsen, PhD, a senior research fellow at the Kirby Lang Center for Public Theology in Cambridge, to delve into the concept of 'placemaking' within theology, work, and technology.
