In this episode, I am joined by Josh Scott, a minister at ?GracePointe Church ?in Nashville and author of the new book ?Parables: Putting Jesus Stories in Their Place?. We discuss the book’s exploration of Jesus’ parables, focusing on their historical context and contemporary relevance. Josh shares insights into how these parables challenge both ancient and modern assumptions about power, empire, and community. We also talk about the unique nature of ?GracePointe Church?, its mission to be a safe space for those questioning their faith, and the importance of community in navigating theological and existential questions. Additionally, they highlight the role of the ?Post-Evangelical Collective? in connecting faith leaders and congregations who seek to foster more inclusive and justice-oriented communities.

ONLINE SUMMIT: Democracy in Tension – NAVIGATING THE INTERLOCKING CRISES OF DEMOCRACY AND RELIGION

Democracy today faces profound challenges – polarization, inequality, populist authoritarianism, and widespread cynicism are eroding the foundations of democratic life. Yet, what if democracy’s greatest strength lies not in eliminating these tensions, but in productively embracing them?The summit will navigate the complex terrain between political equality and social justice, liberal freedom and democratic sovereignty, and ethical demands and political action. Through interactive sessions, participants will explore how to transform antagonistic enemies into agonistic adversaries, confront the nihilism threatening our democratic imagination, and cultivate spaces for genuine political discourse across differences.
