Episode Synopsis

Have you quoted or heard someone quote Ted Lasso? In its second season on Apple TV, this show by the same name concludes on October 8th. Lasso is even showing up in the Christian media as well as sermons often. When asked about how often he quoted Lasso, the Rev. Dr. Joe Clifford, pastor and head of staff of Myers Park Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, NC, responded, “I hope I’m not talking about it in EVERY sermon, but I’ve mentioned it a couple of times. The Christmas episode was so chocked-full of great theological material. And I loved the episode around self—'You are who you are because of who you are.'” Clifford is quick to point out the show, though rich theologically, may appeal to white folks more than others. Join Joe and Lee for a conversation about all of the above and more. Bring your favorite quotes to share!
