This episode is brought to you by Tinder. Life is full of possibilities. A cheeky reply

to a message here could lead to a world of fun new experiences over there, and with Tinder

it all starts with a swipe. Strangers can become mates, mates can become lovers with matching

tattoos, or maybe it's not that serious. Whether a match leads to something new and exciting

or something personal, no matter what, all matches lead to self-discovery. Download

Tinder now. You're listening to an irreverent podcast. Visit irreverent.fm for more content

from our amazing lineup of creators. Hello and welcome to the series It's in the

code. Part of the podcast, Straight White American Jesus. My name is Dan Miller. I'm Professor

of Religion and Social Thought at Landmark College, and I am the host. And as always, as I say,

this is a part of the larger podcast, Straight White American Jesus, which is offered in partnership

with CapCenter UCSB. And I think all of you who listen, all of you who listen to the ads,

I know we all love so much, but that revenue helps keep us going. All of you who are patrons

and support us financially, all of you who email me with great ideas and comments and feedback

on this series. I've said before, I'll say it again, I'm going to keep the series going as long

as people keep letting me know that it's communicating with them, it's resonating with them,

and the ideas keep coming. And you can reach me at Daniel Miller Swadge, Daniel Miller

SWAJ at gmail.com. Would love to hear you, love to hear the comments, love to hear the ideas.

As always, I apologize that I simply can't respond to all the emails I get,

but I do try to respond to as many as possible. And then finally, before diving in,

we are just a few days away from our first live event in Denver, this coming Friday night,

the 18th. Again, you can still check out live stream tickets. If that's the way that you would

like to do that, if you're going to be in the area and you want to go in person, we would love
