Listen "#51: Election"
Episode Synopsis
On the eve of the US midterm election, Adam and Matt talk with Duke Divinity School professor, Jerusha Matsen Neal about honesty, authenticity, destiny, and Alexander Payne's 1999 film, Election.
In the first segment, Justification by Faith, the group discusses what Election has to do with life, ministry and the world. The conversation revolves around ideas of election, the trauma at the heart of the movie, and how our deepest desires manifest in terrible ways.

In the final segment, Postludes, Matt talks about video games and Adam talks about genies.
