Cool World, Roger Rabbit... What kind of marketing strategy works best for women entreprenuers in a "boy's club"? Who's the coolest chick in comics?

Debonee talks with Pastor Phil Shephers, aka the Whiskey Preacher about whether or not queer people should be included in church life.  The conversation visits 'black and white thinking' versus 'beyond the grey and into vibrant color thinking', the (alleged) scriptural take on homosexuality, a shout-out to the Baptists, and takes on questions such as 'Does God create gay people?", "What does a radically inclusive church look like?"and the perrenial "What would Jesus do?".

Phil is an ordained Disciples of Christ minister, the Co-Pastor of The Eucatastrophe, blogger for Huffington Post and Patheos, Co-CEO of Sogo Media, an Outlaw Theologian, author, public speaker, university lecturer and consultant.  You can follow Phil on Facebook and Twitter.

Michael Goldman explores the intersection between Art & Faith from the perspective of a Soto Zen Priest (and second degree Judo blackbelt) and guitar student of teachers including Robert Fripp and Lester Bass.  What does a faith practice and have in common with rock and roll?  From the Alexander Technique to Coltrane, from Anders Parker to the oud, from Gurdjieff to gravity, descent into darkness & discipline, transcending control, the 28 Buddhas, The Hero's Journey, and connecting with something bigger... Goldman brings it on.

Ronn Johnstone, Chair of the Theatre Department at Anderson University in Indiana, and professional actor, takes us into the world of Plato, Dickens, "Bagger Vance", Dante, Spielberg, "Lars and the Real Girl" and much, much more to examine the questions such as, "Why does art matter?", "What's the connection between news and entertainment?", "Christian versus Secular - is that even a thing?".  We'll explore the hermeneutics of suspicion, the grammar of creativity, sh$tmonsters, bazookas and ooooooodles more.  It's an intellectual romp not to be missed.

Heads up - we had a few blips in the Skype call, so you'll hear a few hiccups.
