And Also With Y'all Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina

Welcome to Season 3 of And Also With Y'all! We're excited to bring you a new theme: Finding Foundations. Why "Finding Foundations"? Because when you find yourself in the front half of life, you find yourself in (fill in the blank). When faced with multiple "firsts" -- big and small -- young adults are challenged to make defining decisions about who they are, who they want to be, what kind of life they want to lead, what kinds of people and what kinds of things they want in their life, and where faith, God and the calling to a Christian life might fit in it all. Featured guests will share their stories about how those first experiences have shaped their being and journey of faith in young adulthood. Thanks a lot for listening!

In this episode, we check in with Mawethu Ncaca as part 2 of "checking in with the curates." Mawethu opens up about his spiritual landscape growing up in South Africa. We caught up on how life has been in ministry during the pandemic and what keeps him grounded. Learn more about the curates and their ministry at reimaginingcuracies.org/the-curates/.

What is a "curate"? In this episode, Caleb and James catch up with Amanda and Philip - two of the three folks in the Reimagining Curacies program. They currently serve parishes in Chapel Hill and Durham. More info on the program can be found at: https://reimaginingcuracies.org/the-curates/."

Caleb turns the tables on James and interviews him about the recent book Belovedness: Finding God (and Self) on Campus, which he co-wrote. They briefly walk through the chapters and talk about the implications of "belovedness" - what it means and why is it so important for students to hear." Belovedness is available at https://www.churchpublishing.org/belovedness. As a gift to our listeners, use code BELOVED20 for 20% off.
