The Zeitcast with Jonathan Martin

There are many terrors in the world right now. But many people believe in a god who is more terrible, still. In this provocative episode, we go hard into how we see God, and what it means for how we live our real lives in the world.

As we celebrate the life and legacy of the great Toni Morrison, we take time to remember her first novel, The Bluest Eye, and talk about how it illumines both the cross of Jesus, and the ways in which we still may be trying to crucify others.
