Responses to the mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, have continued, and there\u2019s renewed hope for policy changes. This week, Jo Saxton joins Phil and Skye as a guest co-host to discuss a series of articles from African-American and global Christian leaders about the need to rethink both America\u2019s gun policies and the American church\u2019s gun culture.
Then, BibleProject co-founders, Jon Collins and Tim Mackie, talk with Skye about how their work has shifted from just teaching what\u2019s in the Bible to teaching people how to read the Bible. Their new app and podcast series is designed to help us see the Bible as brilliant literature, and not just a depository of quick answers to life\u2019s problems. Also this week, should we be concerned that more people are having wedding ceremonies to marry themselves?
