In this episode, Chris, Eddie, and Cody discuss the trajectory of the conversations on The Weight over the past year. Beginning with their discussion with two church leaders on the United Methodist conversation about human sexuality, Eddie and Chris dove into a breadth of nuanced topics from grief to body image to social justice. In the midst of a difficult year, they found a common thread of hope and humility as they engaged with guests from many different backgrounds and viewpoints.
As they look toward 2021, Eddie and Chris hope to focus more attention on drawing out specific topics over a series of episodes. The Weight will continue to create a space where honesty and humility will break down the caricatures and stereotypes we often make of one another. In the new year, Eddie and Chris will keep engaging the larger cultural moment in a thoughtful, faithful, robust way and also in a culturally critical way. The Weight will be a place to ponder what makes the wisdom of Christian tradition an important piece of a conversation about what will make the world more beautiful, good, and true moving forward.
