Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Overturning Tables, Derek and Jonathan dive into the burning question: why is now the moment to launch this podcast? They explore the urgency of engaging in progressive theology amidst the high stakes of the 2024 presidential election and a cultural climate marked by division and disinformation. Together, they highlight the critical need for voices that move beyond abstract theology into actionable, justice-centered faith.

With candor and conviction, they discuss how Overturning Tables seeks to fill the void of progressive content that not only challenges oppressive systems but also empowers listeners to live out their beliefs in transformative ways. From resisting empire to embracing radical love, Derek and Jonathan unpack why this moment in history demands faith leaders and communities to take bold steps in aligning their practice with their principles.

This episode isn’t just a reflection—it’s a call to action. Whether you’re a longtime advocate for justice or newly seeking ways to integrate faith and activism, Derek and Jonathan invite you to pull up a chair and join the movement to overturn tables and build the Kingdom of God, here and now.
