- Aslan is a Woman…
Except that he is clearly not. I have seen the cosmic-magical trailer and the lion is still sporting his mane. I will reserve my opinion for when I actually see the film, which I am eagerly awaiting, but I can’t help think that by including a female voice there is an excellent theological argument to be made about the genders of humanity reflecting the the image of God a little more completely. Not unlike part of Amy Peeler’s discussion in Women and the Gender of God. Even though Gerwig is not... more

United States13 days ago - We love the subtext!
I (Hanna) have followed Savannah for years since I stumbled headlong into an intense season of deconstruction in the early years of our marriage. Paul is a life long nerdy intellectual and seminary grad who is not on social media. We moved to the United States from Europe a year ago, and the Subtext has been the perfect vehicle for us to process the ~Wild West~ of what’s happening in American culture at the moment. We love listening to Savannah and Lee in the car together every week, and listeni... more
Apple Podcasts5HannaAndPaulUnited Statesa month ago - LOVE this pod!
I am so glad I stumbled upon this podcast. Savannah and Lee are such an awesome team! They offer great perspectives on social issues and current events. I especially enjoy how they bring their own unique take through a Christian lens without being overbearing theologically. Highly recommend this podcast to anyone wanting to learn, grow and expand their understanding of the life and times we live in.
Apple Podcasts5SaintanybodyUnited States2 months ago - At first I was baffled…
When I first came across the pairing of Savannah and Lee, I have to admit that I was a little baffled. Savannah, kind of sounding continually wondrous and Lee sounding patient with the wanderings of wherever she takes the conversation. But, you know, it just works. Both of them embody the Christian version of my agnostic soul - how can we simply be better versions of ourselves? How can we honor this treasure of what it is to be given life? To that end, I’ve added The Subtext to No Small Endeavor... more
Apple Podcasts5CflottUnited States2 months ago - Multigenerational Conversations!
I’m retired now, and one thing I miss are the day-to-day conversations with my work friends who were various ages. I had a few “Savannahs” in my work life who kept me connected to pop culture and were able to have related intellectual conversations. Thanks Savannah and Lee for this useful and enlightening podcast.
