Drawing from Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan, our panel explores who we're willi...

In our Christmas-themed episode, special guest Councillor Gian Carlo Carra joins Rev. Bill and Rev. Joanne for a deep and provocative discussion about the enduring power of a story proclaiming "peace on earth, and good will to all people", the alleged "war on Christmas" (spoiler alert: there isn't one!) and the importance of communities in maintaining hope for love to break through in our world today.

Apocalyptic skies ... Global wars ... Human apathy ... Did we miss the rapture, or are the doomsday prophets just head of the game? Join Rev. Joanne, Rev. Bill, and Ricardo De Menezes as they talk about the end of the world, Hell, and if there's any hope for the rest of us!

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
