In this episode of the pod, Micah and Manny are joined by Pastor Jon Middendorf who is the Lead Pastor at Oklahoma City First Church of the Nazarene. The guys tackle some serious questions about the Book of the Revelation, doomsday preppers, and what sorts of things the church can do to remedy the ways that they’ve hurt the very people they’ve been trying to save. This is both the last episode of the Human series and the last episode of the Commentators Podcast: Season One. If you’ve been listening along the way, we appreciate you. If this is your first episode, you’re welcome here and we’re glad to have you. We’ll be back soon.

In this episode of the pod, The Commentators’ A Team—also known as Cam, Emma, and Jordan—walks us through conversations around adolescence, the uniqueness of shared experiences, and the beauty of deep friendships. This episode purposefully centers womens’ voices and experiences for a couple of reasons:

1.) We believe that we are at our best when we choose to listen to, and take seriously, the thoughts and experiences of others.

2.) Cam, Emma, and Jordan have all agreed to take on bigger creative roles in season two so you might as well get used to hearing more of them anyway.

Oh, and maybe better understand the mystery of love along the way.

In this episode of the pod, Micah and Manny are joined by pastor and advocate for criminal justice reform, Tyler Stark, for a conversation about everything from having to sit at the quiet table in elementary school to the curious and depressing case of Julius Jones. The explicit goal of this podcast was to have a candid conversation about criminality, justice, and the hope of rehabilitation. However, it became extremely obvious very early on that it’s challenging to address such a complicated conversation with lofty ideas born out of ivory towers.
