This is a special crossover episode with Chase Tibbs from the Faith and Capital podcast.

OHHH Chase’s pod is celebrating its 2nd birthday. If you haven’t listened to it before and are interested in a show inviting Christians to participate in the struggle for emancipation, then give it a listen.

Want to explore these themes in an online reading group with friend of the pod and theological ethcisist Joerg Reiger? Then join up.
