Nate and Tim step back from the Old Testament theology to reflect on why theology matters at all. Ideas trickle downstream. The affects of this trickle-down and the consequences of our theology matter, especially when they’re coming from the top of white evangelicalism and may be propping up some of our nation’s ugliest ideologies. ☆★☆ Support us on Patreon for 2 episodes every month of our Patreon-only podcast called Utterly Heretical, a monthly Zoom call and access to a private Facebook Group where we all hang out.
