0:10.7

Been rocking, rocking the podcast world for all the theology nerds since 2008.

0:17.2

And on the podcast today, we get associate professor of religious studies at the University of South Florida, Michael De Jong, who is an amazing Bonhoeffer scholar that he teaches Christian theology, its history, modern religious thought, and has published quite a few texts on old Dietrich Bonhoeffer, including Bonhofer on resistance,

the word against the wheel. And in this conversation, see, you're going to hear my co-host

0:46.2

for the upcoming Bonhoffer in the future of faith course, Jeff Pugh, and interview Michael

0:51.5

with me. This is one of the bonus episodes conversations of sort that we did

1:50.5

Could you share it with me? And I'm like, let's just share it on the podcast. All right? So here
