A limited podcast series about the politics of immigration, faith as radical hospitality, and the borders between church and state.

In the spring of 1982, six faith communities in Arizona and California declared themselves places of safe harbor for hundreds of thousands of Salvadorans and Guatemalans that had been denied legal proceedings for political asylum in the U.S. Alleging that immigration officials had intentionally miscategorized Central Americans as ‘economic migrants’ in order to accelerate their deportation, humanitarian organizations, legal advocates, and religious bodies sought alternatives for aid within their faiths’ scriptural teachings and the juridical parameters offered by international and national human rights and refugee law. Known as the Sanctuary Movement, this decade-long interfaith mobilization spurred congressional action in support of Central American asylees by the 1990s and served as the model for a renewed movement for sanctuary in support of undocumented Americans in the twenty-first century.

Every episode in the series draws upon extensive archival data from across the country in order to offer new interpretations of the Sanctuary Movement and introduce public audiences to the primary voices and sources within the faith communities and grassroots organizations at its core. To date, there is no resource that provides a reliable and relevant examination of the movement from the 1980s to the present. “Sanctuary: On the Border Between Church and State” proposes to do exactly this and thus chart new directions for one of the nation’s most confrontational religious movements.

Tune in every TUESDAY to hear two best friends yap about all things romance book related !

One thing about our leading ladies Father Lib and Sister Britt, they are going to speak their minds about all of their honest thoughts and feelings. With over 2,000 romance books read between the two of them, they know what they love + majorly dislike at this point.. which can lead to some LOUD opinions. But that is exactly what they are meant to be - their opinions. Where they might dislike something, you might completely love it, and that's ohkay. Here at The Smut Daddy Podcast we do NOT yuck people's yums, but we don't shy away from our beliefs.

    What Shines with the Dawn is the first book of The Odysseys of Alaythia series. Book One follows the epic adventure of Virginia Singerman. 

     After the murder of her parents, Virginia moves to East Tennessee to live under the custody of her distant uncle in his palatial estate.

​

     One day, while exploring her new quarters, she finds a diary in an old room that had been locked off for over 100 years. 

     Ignoring the warning that came with the book, she flips through its pages, reading about a teenage girl from the 1800’s named Rose Cohen, who lived in the same mansion before her. 

     Virginia’s attention is gripped as Rose describes of a place nearby called Alaythia, where men can turn into beasts, warriors can sprout wings from their backs and channel fire through their very being, and her story of how she was kidnaped and rescued by these same individuals. 

     It is not long after that the very things Virginia read about begin to manifest and hunt her down. 

     Through the brave skills and crafts of Charles, her high school crush and one who knows more about what’s happening than he originally led her to believe, Virginia is protected and taken into another world: a world waiting for her, a world where she learns the truth about herself, a world that tells prophesies of her unlocking an ancient weapon that the dark ones fear, that is, if she she can be safeguarded long enough for it to come to pass.
