God Talk with Medene and James

God Talk with Medene and James Unfiltered faith & justice conversations. Unfiltered conversations at the intersection of faith, justice, and lived experience.

At a time when millions of us are disaffected from the religion we grew up with, God Talk creates honest dialogue about faith and life. Medene is a Black Catholic with Pentecostal roots (COGIC), lay minister, and theologian with expertise in scripture, inter-religious dialogue, and psychological integration. James is a gay Catholic, lay minister, and theologian with expertise in practical, narrati

ve, and liberation theologies. At a time when millions of us are disaffected and disaffiliating from the faith we group with, especially Christians, God Talk provides a dialogue about faith and life that is honest and unassuming. We hope our videos can benefit those of us who feel the need to deconstruct and reconstruct our religion. And we hope to challenge the status quo of institutions that often serve and protect themselves, rather than the people. We believe in social justice, we practice prayer & ritual from multiple traditions, and we welcome disagreement and argument. Welcome to God Talk with Medene and James!

Paul commends Phoebe, our sister, as a deacon. No other biblical use of 'diakonos' names a specific person as one.

We continue season 3 in Romans 16, meeting Phoebe, a "deacon" and "help" to Paul who is entrusted with the letter and is sent to minister. What has been lost since, especially in the Catholic tradition, cannot be avoided any longer.

It's a pleasure to explore the topic with a leading scholar who has become a friend. Thank you, Dr. Zagano, for your time with us and many years of persistent education on this topic.

Is God in the stillness or the chaos? We live in chronological time, but also in Kairos, God's time. Understanding this changes everything.
