Welcome to That Makes Total Sense! A podcast about exploring God’s generosity and justice. I’m Alexis Busetti - a Christian aiming to ask good questions and encourage you to do the same.
Every one of us is wired by God to live out generosity and justice, but sometimes the how eludes us. That Makes Total Sense! is a way for us to get together, posture ourselves as learners, and challenge one other to practice generosity and justice in a tangible way everyday.

Episode 244 – Trey Ferguson
This conversation with Pastor Trey Ferguson easily and quickly became one of my favorites. Not did our time together feel life-giving, akin to having a cup (or many cups) of coffee with a dear friend, but his theological explorations were encouraging and, in some instances, challenging. Trey’s new book, Theologizin’ Bigger is not your typical … Continue reading Episode 244 – Trey Ferguson

Episode 243 – Zion Lester & Terence Lester
It’s not very often that I ask my kids to preview a book I receive for the podcast, but it’s also not very often that I am preparing to interview the authors of a children’s book (including a teenage co-author)!

Episode 241 – Dwight Radcliff (re-release!)
Dr. Dwight Radcliff is the academic dean for the William E. Pannell Center for Black Church Studies at Fuller Seminary (and one of my favorite professors!). In the spring of 2022, I took his class on the Theology of Hip Hop Culture and it was life-altering (I don’t say that lightly!). As Christians, not just those … Continue reading Episode 241 – Dwight Radcliff (re-release!)

Episode 240 – Malcolm Foley
Okay. I hope you have *half* as much fun listening to this episode as Malcolm and I had recording it! We went in with no notes, no background reading material, and (almost) no filters. Malcolm first came on the podcast in 2020 and we talked about his dissertation work on the history of lynching in … Continue reading Episode 240 – Malcolm Foley

Episode 239 – Michael Wear
Michael Wear is one of the voices I’ve been listening to, regarding politics and the Christian faith, for years now. I first heard him on a podcast (linked below) where he and his friend, Justin Giboney, were speaking about politics in ways that A. resonated deeply with me and B. I hadn’t heard many, if … Continue reading Episode 239 – Michael Wear
Customer Reviews
So good!
Love the way Alexis engages with her guests! The conversations are deep, relevant, and thought-provoking.
Outstanding podcast
Alexis is a the host you want to hear on a podcast. She does the pre-work that helps her to ask the right questions, and then she listens for the answer, giving her guests the space to respond without interruption.
The topics are thought-provoking and make theology tangible for the listener who is well-versed and the listener who may be new to the subject’s theological perspective.
Great podcast and great host!
