Faith, Migration, and the Theology of Accompaniment

Tune in to this special podcast episode as we sit down with Daniel Montañez, Founder and Executive Director of The Center for Public Theology and Migration to unpack the complex realities of migration not just as a political talking point, but as a deeply human, global movement. Together, we explore what it looks like to align our public policy with our faith, grounding our perspective in the truth that the Bible itself is a story of migration. This discussion explores how to embrace a "theology of accompaniment" shaped by undocumented Latino Pentecostal pastors, tangible ways to transition churches from mere conversation to redemptive local action, and ways you can partner with the Center for Public Theology and Migration for ongoing education and advocacy.

If you’ve been wondering how your faith can actively respond to global displacement and bring redemptive action to your own neighborhood, this conversation is for you.

The Power of Stories with Lani Peterson, Psy.D.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Lani Peterson, Psy. D., a psychologist, executive coach, and workshop designer/facilitator who has extensive experience working with individuals, groups, and organizations in the areas of leadership, emotional intelligence, personal and team development. This conversation dives deep into the transformative practice of applied storytelling, exploring how the narratives we hold about ourselves can either limit us or unlock our truest potential. True healing and connection take immense courage—the vulnerability to risk sharing our lived experiences, trust others with our truth, and step into "safely uncomfortable" spaces where real growth happens. When we engage in the sacred cycle of storytelling, listening, and responding, we don't just bridge deep-seated differences; we invite a profound shift in perspective that has the power to change both the teller and the listener, thickening our self-concept and allowing us to collectively reclaim our personal agency. Lani ends with a prompt for listeners, highlighting the idea of the “golden shadow”, stating that “Often what we admire in another, is something that we actually have a bit of within ourselves and want more of. What is the light that is within you?”. This is an episode that you do not want to miss!

A Conversation with Author: Dorothy Littell Greco "For the Love of Women: Uprooting and Healing Misogyny in America"

In this episode, we sit down with author, Dorothy Littell Greco to discuss her deeply researched new book (boasting nearly 40 pages of footnotes!) that systematically deconstructs misogyny across healthcare, the workplace, government, entertainment, and relationships. "For the Love of Women: Uprooting and Healing Misogyny in America" tackles the heavy reality that the Church should be the safest place for women—but often isn't. Dorothy's book, born out of a place of deep grief and righteous anger, allows this conversation to highlight crucial insights for the collective path forward: we must share our stories (while respecting differing levels of trauma), we must allow ourselves to feel and listen to our anger, and we cannot give up hope.

If you are looking for a space to process, grieve, and lament the harsh realities of our world while actively seeking a way forward, this episode is for you.

It’s Okay Not to Know but It's Good to Learn

In this episode, host Elizabeth Grady-Harper sits down with board member and friend Chantelle Arentsen for a candid conversation on resisting cultural manipulation—from the industry-driven standards of beauty to the historical ties between faith and "hustle culture." Chantelle shares about her personal journey navigating racial justice, sharing how being rooted in a supportive, like-minded community has been her greatest source of strength. It’s a powerful exploration of identity and faith, reminding us that while the work of justice is hard, we don’t have to run the race alone.
