Thank you to our partner, Garrett's Seminary.

Seminary education isn't just for pastors, social awareness of the world's most pressing problems,

robust ethical analysis, empathetic biblical wisdom and courageous leadership

or skills you can use across a wide range of vocations.

Whether you feel called to care and counsel, public service,

prophetic arts, or non-profit management, there's a program at Garrett's Seminary that's right for you.

Their global faculty and diverse student body nurture class discussions that reflect the contextual

realities in the communities you'll serve and their commitment to hands-on learning

means you'll have plenty of opportunities to put that knowledge to use.

Located in the heart of Northwestern's campus, a short train ride from Chicago, let their city be

your training ground.

Garrett also offers fully online and hybrid programs. Learn more and apply by their early

action deadline November 15th for an increased chance of scholarships. Learn more at garrett.edu

Hi, everybody.

This is Bo Sander's. I want to thank you for downloading this episode of Theology Nerd Throwdown.

As many of you probably know, my mom passed away last month, and between going to say goodbye to her and spends some time with my wife's family in Montana and then the funeral. It has been a

wild couple of months. So what you're going to hear today is actually the beginning of a series

of collected conversations. I've been able to record a bunch of stuff, but haven't taken the time to process it and put it out.

So in a minute, Tripp and I are going to kick off the show as normal, and then we're going to switch gears a little bit and go to a conversation that I had with Mickey Jones about Facebook and Ferguson, and then come back to Tripp and I in the Theology

and Your Throwdown Fielding calls from you.

In a couple days, I'm going to put out the second half of that conversation.
