Cafeteria Christian started as a place for people who love Jesus but are so over the version of Christianity that forgets love, justice, and curiosity. Hosted by Pastor Natalia Terfa and Pastor Emmy Kegler, the show is a mix of faith conversations, cultural commentary, and the beautiful, complicated mess of trying to follow Jesus in the real world.

My weekly comfort podcast. Absolutely love listening to Natalia and Emmy.
Just listening to my first episode (Feb. 2022) and am already feeling pretty okay about putting my review out there. Just listening to these two sharp (sounding) women, I can tell that this isn't your mom's church basement podcast (not that there were any.) I just appreciate the current and open-minded (sounding) conversation. Then (yay!) one of them mentions that they're from Minneapolis!
Can't wait to catch up & hear more.

Definitely not a true Christian, her content is plump full of half truths and paid content. Unoriginal.
Two female pastors, a black man and an awesome white lady is the perfect combination for a podcast that challenges the status quo of religion and delves into how faith shows up IRL. Great and timely topics push back on your position and encourage you to do the work!! Ding bats need not listen!
I’m a happily Jewish person who is curious about Christianity, since it’s the ubiquitous religious framework in the US. I grew up hearing that Christianity was bad/harmful, and love this show for being an expert (and non-expert) hosted explainer for what Christianity actually is and isn’t. Not my first exposure to Christian thought that resonates with me, but certainly the most reliable & entertaining.
