In this episode of The Unfounded Podcast’s recurring series Take Me to Church, host Christopher Turner brings a fresh approach to engaging with religious texts. Covering Genesis chapters 17 and 18, he explores the transformation of Abram and Sarai into Abraham and Sarah, the covenant of circumcision as a physical symbol of God's promises, and Abraham’s bold intercession for Sodom and Gomorrah.
Beyond biblical analysis, Turner intertwines personal reflections on motivation and physical health, using them as metaphors for resilience and faith in the creative process. He also examines contemporary issues like the potential TikTok ban, framing it as a test for creators to evaluate authenticity and the influence of digital platforms.
With an emphasis on critical thinking and free exploration of spirituality, Take Me to Church breaks away from traditional structures, welcoming all perspectives without restrictive dogma. By fostering discussion across religious traditions, Turner aims to create a space where diverse beliefs can be engaged with openly. Join him every Sunday for this unique journey in faith and philosophy.
Lots of Love <3
