Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich sit down with Rev. Jonah Overton (they/them), a queer and trans community organizer and the lead pastor of Zao MKE Church, to talk about why the church should be Jesus-focused, justice-centered, and radically inclusive. Rev. Jonah P. Overton (they/them) loves being part of a church that is being recreated and reimagined by people who were historically denied access to traditional Christian leadership. Their favorite thing about Zao MKE Church is experiencing what church looks like when those of us who were left out get to be in charge. Jonah is extremely passionate about the Bible and reclaiming Christian scriptures for liberation and for the Kingdom. They are so passionate that they started two podcasts: Jonah & the Peacock and Christian Queeries. In Jonah & the Peacock, Jonah interviews others about their relationship to faith and scripture, retelling the texts through a more inclusive and trauma-informed lens.

Doug Pagitt and Dan Deitrich discuss how music, with its scales, theories and intangible intuitiveness, can be a metaphor for less rigid, more expansive spirituality. Plus, how fundamentalism is incompatible with art. From The War of Art by Steven Pressfield “The fundamentalist (or, more accurately, the beleaguered individual who comes to embrace fundamentalism), cannot stand freedom. He cannot find his way into the future, so he retreats to the past.” “Fundamentalism and art are mutually exclusive. There is no such thing as fundamentalist art. This does not mean that the fundamentalist is not creative. Rather, his creativity is inverted. He creates destruction. Even the structures he builds, his schools and networks of organization, are dedicated to annihilation, of his enemies and of himself.” Speaking of humanism vs fundamentalism: "While the one looks forward, hoping to create a better world, the other looks backward, seeking to return to a purer world from which he and all have fallen." Doug Pagitt is the Executive Director and one of the founders of Vote Common Good.
