Mo Jesus! Nov 17, 2021

Show notes

Non-traditional paths to God's call. These people also use their faith to lead (and make money) OUTSIDE the church. In WORST & FIRST: A pastor in Michigan thinks more freely than most pastors and has also tied activism into his ministry. RELIGION and GOVERNMENT can MIX! Hear from a black queer woman saving souls in Philadelphia. The city pays her to create a space outside the church to nurture people's deepest pains and joys—suggestions to pursue a similar position where you live in NOW HIRING. HIRED: Leonardo DiCaprio for the upcoming "Jim Jones" film, but @Rod4Short's excitement is for a meme-worthy different reason. SCAM OF THE WEEK: A woman has walked away from a cushy government job to minister to people individually, she also talks to us about her days as a Foot Locker employee on (gulp) "Jordan Day"
