Did you know Marx quoted Luther throughout his works? Dr. Francisco Herrera, auxiliary faculty at Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and Convener of Prism Initiatives, sits down with Boston and Lyndon to discuss the ways in which Lutheranism and Marxism intersect. The three also talk about getting through the stereotypes of Marxism, Dr. Francisco's current and upcoming projects, and ways in which to build community.

Dr. Francisco can be found on Facebook under 'Francisco Herrera' and on Instagram @polyglotevangel

Lyndon joins Rev. Dr. Matthew Anderson in conversation. His recent books include “The Good Walk: Creating New Paths on Traditional Prairie Trails,” “Prophets of Love: The Unlikely Kinship of Leonard Cohen and the Apostle Paul.” This episode focuses on the creative act of writing a book and similar creative acts. We explore reasons to focus creative energy on larger projects if that is our goal. Matthew talk about how to navigate the world of publishing in a changing landscape, the importance of having confidence in our ideas, and why it’s important for theology to be fun. Hear more from our favourite Lutheran pastor, New Testament Scholar, and bestselling author. Look for an forthcoming episode with Matthew Anderson in conversation about “The Good Walk” and more.

Sasha and Melissa Perron are competitive runners based on the unceded lands of the Lekwungen people. They are Kwakwaka’wakw from Da’naxda’xw First Nation. Boston, Lyndon, Sasha, and Melissa sit down in the studio to talk about running joined by Sandra, Sasha and Melissa’s mom!

The conversation covers how the siblings got into running and how they have brought awareness to causes through running. This includes a 216 KM run to honour the 215+ children found on residential school grounds in 2021 starting with the Kamloops Indian Residential School. It also includes a recent BMO marathon where they brought awareness to MMIWG2S. There is also discussion on how running can be a profoundly spiritual act.
