We take a break from our Tackling the Taboo series to celebrate the beginning of summer by talking about what we’re enjoying these days. We talk about some of the books, movies, creative projects, and practices that we are loving right now.

What We're Enjoying These Days

What do the Bachelor, Love is Blind, the Ultimatum, and all of the other competition dating reality TV shows have in common? Really problematic narratives about marriage! We break down some of our most "precious illusions" (thanks, Alanis Morissette) about finding "the one," tying the knot, and having a "successful" marriage. We discuss the conveyor belt narratives that leave so many of us miserable, dissatisfied, and lost in the relationships we are told will fulfill us completely.

Tackling the Taboo: The Precious Illusions of Marriage

What does being Christian even mean anyway? Who gets to decide what a Christian is? That's what we discuss in this episode and how we've evolved in our understanding of how the label "Christian" feels to us. We talk about evangelicalism, Jesus, deconstruction, Christian nationalism, and how we understand our ever-changing spirituality these days. In short, it's complicated.

We will be taking a break from recording episodes this fall. Stay tuned for more in our "Tackling the Taboo" series toward the end of 2023!

Tackling the Taboo: Are We Christian?
