Hello and welcome back to the Bodies Behind the Bus podcast.

I'm super excited for the conversation we're going to have today.

We have with us Margaret Bronson and Eric Isaac, Professor Eric Isaac, who's also one of our board members.

Margaret was a former storyteller, and she has been doing a ton of work in the deconstruction space and particularly

coming alongside men and women, but I would say predominantly women, out of the specific

brand of evangelicalism that she was raised in, which we're going to give her a little space

to talk about the nuance of that. I think some of the things that she was raised in, which we're going to give her a little space to talk about

the nuance of that. I think some of the things that she introduces are going to be things that

many of us can relate to. But what she has come out of is like the most extreme version of that.

So that's like the end of the theology that many of us were baked in as evangelicals.

So we're going to give you a second to do that, but I did want to just give an update on why Jay's not here.

His community and family have experienced like some deep loss and tragedy connected with the fires in Los Angeles.

I'm posting updates about that
