We focus on connecting questions of faith with approachable conversations in theology, interpreting the Bible (Scripture), life in the church. It's a podcast, with different offerings (series, like Beyond Simple Answers), that explores a working theological vision (key beliefs) for folks who consider themselves as curious, as asking questions about their faith (e.g., deconstruction, evangelicalism and post-evangelicalism), and looking for helpful ways forward. In our Beyond Simple Answers podcast (a Theology Lab series), we explore a theological vision for faith, in the form conversations, that responds to simple answers to important questions that often fall short -- and what different responses to questions can look like. Episodes on Theology Lab consist of conversational interviews with a range of guests, from public figures like David Brooks and Russell Moore, to biblical scholars, church leaders, theologians, and more.

Together, we explore how the Bible has been read—and misread—in discussions surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement, and what faithful interpretation looks like in moments of cultural tension and resistance. Edwards and Bowens reflect on the role of biblical theology in addressing injustice, the church’s public witness, and the growing pushback against efforts aimed at equity and inclusion in public life. This episode invites listeners to engage Scripture seriously, wrestle honestly with hard questions, and consider how Christian faith speaks into today’s contested cultural landscape. 📚 Check out the books mentioned in the episode: 📚 Do Black Lives Matter? https://wipfandstock.com/9781666705416/do-black-lives-matter/ 📚Might From the Margins: https://heraldpress.com/9781513806013/might-from-the-margins/ 📚 African American Readings of Paul: https://www.eerdmans.com/9780802876768/african-american-readings-of-paul/ Music Copyright code: US9BWVXXM3PYATAZ Highrock Media License Number - uB6aGE","meta_description":"⭐ In this Theology Lab interview, we’re joined by Dennis Edwards (North Park Seminary) and Lisa Bowens (Princeton Seminary), editors of Do Black Lives Mat…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2140,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/theology-lab-courage-curiosity-for-everyday-faith-6705421/episodes/the-bible-blm-in-a-time-of-cultural-backlash/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/theology-lab-courage-curiosity-for-everyday-faith-6705421/the-bible-blm-in-a-time-of-cultural-backlash.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
