Episode Notes

I talk to Lydia Hird Simmons about her life as a seminarian at Virginia Theological Seminary. We talk about growing up in Sioux Falls, her calling at the age of 16 towards ordained ministry, and the great power of week-long retreats in very different settings. In the background, you can sometimes hear Tig, a 75 lb yellow lab!

Lydia’s recommendations: - Potterless a man reads and reacts to the Harry Potter books - Two Feminists Annotate... 2FAB is Luci and Jordan, two feminists who started out annotating the Bible. Now they’ve moved on to saints. - Velocipastor A film about a pastor who turns into a dinosaur! Can you believe it??
