For many of us who are beginning to think about our faith in new ways and ask questions about what we were given growing up, Paul is...tricky. We've heard people use passages from Paul's letters in the New Testament to maintain patriarchy, support homophobia, and justify authoritarian leadership structures inside and outside the church...let alone the ways Paul was used historically to justify slavery. Those of us who want to hold on to some of this Christian faith, perhaps even an appreciation for scripture, we have to grapple with this question...what the F$&@ do we do with Paul?!

To help us with this difficult questions, Dr. Tom Rundel returns to the podcast. He helps us dive into the history of the church and of how scripture has been read, which helps us understand how we got here in the first place...and then, if this is how we got here and where we are, what do we do in response?

This is an incredibly permission-giving, thoughtful, brutally honest, grounded, and hope-filled conversation, especially for those of us who have started to struggle not only with Paul, but with scripture as a whole.
