In this episode we look back on episode 1 of the podcast, recorded on my phone in a hotel room in Mars Hill, NC.  I was attending the Wild Goose Festival and the idea for this podcast had been brewing as a result of a paper I was writing for school and ... this is where it all began.  You'll hear a bit of my story, some of the backstory of the show, and some of the original vision of where I was hoping it would all go.  Enjoy!

I quit my job of 11 years to do ... THIS.  In full transparency, this mid-week check in is a full, 100% ask to go check out our tiers on Patreon and consider supporting the show financially.  All the money we make from Patreon goes to buy groceries, gas, and all the things that come with being an adult.  And so if the show has done you any good whatsoever and you feel the nudge ... please go take a look.
Thanks for listening.  Thanks for sharing.  Thanks for encouraging me.  Thanks for YOU.
Much love.

In this episode we look back on a conversation with my friend, the late Steve Austin.  Steve committed suicide in the Summer of 2021 and left a gaping hole in the world.  In this conversation you'll get a taste of the ray of hope he was to so many as he fought hard to destroy the stigma around mental health that the church has created.  
The intro to the episode is from one of the What If Project Patreon supporters, Mike Koolen.  Mike actually introduced me to Steve a while back and so his voice in this episode is a perfect fit.

In this week's episode we sit down with Robert Alter who wrote his own translation AND commentary of the Hebrew Bible.  Do you have questions about how an ancient text is translated into a modern language?  And how that process might impact that way the text is taught and understood today? This is a good one, enjoy!
