Church HistoriaHoliness in the OrdinaryAs we recorded Season 1, our conversations took us in many directions and not all of them made sense as part of an episode. Today, we’re excited to bring you one of those “extra” conversations, recorded in the context of our episode about the Mar Thoma church and our conversation with Jissie and Rainu. In this case, our extra conversational meandering was it’s about food, culture, faith, and finding sacredness in the ordinary.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.2021-04-0911 min

Church HistoriaCalled To Preach: Southern EvangelicalismEvangelical and evangelicalism are common labels used in talking about modern Christianities, but they are fairly nebulous terms with non-codified definitions. Unlike a lot of other terms used to describe Christians it is not a denominational label (e.g. Baptist, Lutheran, etc.) or an umbrella term for several denominations (e.g. charismatic, high-church, etc.). And to further complicate things, denominations can even have evangelical and non-evangelical threads within them.

The guy who’s coming to visit us all soon! How did Santa evolve from St. Nicolas to a jolly portly guy in a red suit?
