Hey, friends, welcome back to another episode of Theology.

On, my guest today is the one and only Brenna Blaine, who is a contemporary theologian,

bestselling author, and teacher whose work focuses on the intersection of faith, suffering,

and orthopraxy.

Brenna is incredibly open and honest and authentic, as you will see.

She's been a guest several times on the show.

So please welcome back to Theology and Only, the one and only, Brenna Blaine.

Do you know what number episode this is for us?

I don't know.

It's got to be three or four.

I think it's four.

I didn't.

Yeah, I didn't.

The first one and then my second one was with Josh Butler and Dr. Sandra Richter.

And then I came back again to talk about the book.

So this would be number four. Yeah. And you and Josh have become good friends, right? We have. Yeah. It's, yeah. He's been a great encouragement in my life. And we're actually working on a project together right now, which is super fun. So I get to see him almost every week. What's the project? Can you talk about? I can't. You can't. It's a surprise. All right. I'll text Josh after. Yeah. Who would have known that after that episode, which was a really, I mean, we don't need to get into the details, but it was in the wake of his book that crushed the internet, lots of, I mean, to say he got critique was an understatement.

I just had him on the podcast, actually, so listeners might be familiar.

But anyway, you were part of some of those early conversations with him without knowing

him.

And yeah, it's really cool to see you guys become good friends after that.

Yeah, he asked if we could get coffee.

He came to town because he's from here originally where I'm at.
