In this captivating conversation, we dive deep into the intersection of bread, theology, and community with guest Kendall Vanderslice. Kendall shares her lifelong love of baking, which began as a way to process emotions and eventually blossomed into a vocational calling. But her journey took an unexpected turn when she discovered the rich theological and cultural dimensions of food, particularly bread. As Kendall studied the anthropology of food and explored biblical narratives around sustenance, she uncovered powerful parallels. The chemical process of bread-making, with its cycle of death and resurrection, mirrors the gospel story. And the act of breaking bread together has long been a way for diverse communities to bridge divides and find common ground. Perhaps most compelling is Kendall's experience with a "dinner church" - a community that held their services around the table, sharing meals and communion despite varying political and theological backgrounds. The way this group navigated their differences while breaking bread offers a powerful model for us all. Kendall also delves into the symbolic significance of bread in the communion table, explaining how the humble loaf can represent nourishment, community, and the transformative work of God. Whether you're a bread enthusiast or simply curious about the deeper meaning of everyday things, this conversation is sure to leave you with a fresh perspective. Prepare to have your eyes opened to the hidden spiritual and communal depths of the humble loaf of bread. Kendall Vanderslice is a baker, writer, speaker, and the founder of the Edible Theology Project, a ministry that connects the Communion table to the kitchen table. She is a graduate of Wheaton College (BA anthropology), Boston University (MLA gastronomy), and Duke Divinity School (master of theological studies). Kendall is the author of By Bread Alone and We Will Feast and lives (with her big-eared beagle named Strudel) in Durham, North Carolina, where she teaches workshops on bread baking as a spiritual practice.Kendall's Book:Bake & PrayKendall's Recommendations:Remarkably Bright CreaturesThe Spirit of Our PoliticsJoin Our Patreon for Early Access and More: PatreonConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

In this episode of The Biggest Table, I speak with Kendall Vanderslice, a baker, writer, speaker, and founder of the Edible Theology Project. Kendall shares her journey into bread making and how it connects to her spirituality and faith. She discusses her early influences, the historical and theological significance of bread, and the idea of baking as a form of prayer. We explore the commercialization of bread, its impact on nutrition and community, and the metaphorical and literal importance of bread in the Christian faith. Kendall also previews her upcoming book, 'Bake and Pray,' which includes workshops, recipes, and prayers all designed  to integrate bread baking into spiritual practice.Kendall Vanderslice is a baker, writer, speaker, and the founder of the Edible Theology Project, a ministry that connects the Communion table to the kitchen table.

All too often these days, bread gets a bad rap. In many ways, diet culture has taught us to fear “carbs” in all forms. Today's guest, however, helps us see bread in a new way. She not only invites us to see bread as a gift, but as a sacred reminder of God's presence and provision. Kendall Vanderslice is a professionally trained baker, speaker, and author, including her most recent title, By Bread Alone: A Baker's Reflections on Hunger, Longing, and the Goodness of God. Kendall is the founder of the Edible Theology Project, an educational media project connecting the Communion table to the kitchen table. She holds a master's degree in Gastronomy (Food Studies) from Boston University and a Master's of Theological Studies from Duke Divinity School. Both personally and professionally, Kendall explores how God meets us in preparing food and sharing food with others. In today's episode, Kendall shares how she has come to love bread, how being a baker has shaped her faith, how what we do with our bodies shapes us spiritually, and how she has come to see food as a gift, after experiencing a disordered relationship with food. Kendall's insights are fresh and important. May this episode open our eyes to the gift of food, the gift of our bodies, and how God is forming us and teaching us through all of it.Buy Melissa L.

This Advent, we partnered with WeWelcome, an organization that teaches Americans how to advocate on behalf of our refugee neighbors. Together, we are learning how the hospitality found in the story of Christ's birth invites us to live out welcome today. On this first Sunday of Advent, we're going to look to the story of Elizabeth and Zachariah. We'll examine what their lives can teach us about embracing the gift of hospitality, even in seasons of unmet longing and endless waiting. We pray this episode will be an encouragement to you in your own seasons of longing. Listen in.

This Fall, we've been reflecting on our food stories and how they impact our sense of home. We believe these conversations are critical as our country faces both a loneliness epidemic and increasing social discord.

Halloween, like other holidays, has its fair share of commercialization and odd customs. But, if you take a closer look, you'll find deep history, beauty, and tradition as well. Join us as we look at the religious history of Halloween, including the origins of Trick-or-Treating, food traditions like soul cakes, and Martin Luther's decision to nail the 95 theses on Halloween.

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “authentic food”? Today, we're going to talk about the concept of authenticity, especially as it relates to food. We'll examine where the term comes from and how it gets used. We'll think about why we choose the term for some foods and not for others, and we'll question whether or not there are more robust ways we can describe the things we love to eat. We hope this short reflection will help you reflect on the ways food has shaped you. Listen in.

Our relationship to place, to the many places we might call home, is a complicated one. For some, it is a privilege to know the many places that have formed you. For others, it is a privilege to forget. For all of us, though, the yearning to understand who we are and how we came to be, is a deeply human one. Join us as Kendall Vanderslice and guest Patrice Gopo, author of “All the Places We Call Home”, meditate on how to lean into the yearning for home.

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, “eating local”? This phrase, eating local, can mean a variety of things. Alice Water's work through Chez Panisse - which sparked the launch of the Farm-to-Table movement - and Barbara Kingsolver's 2007 book “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” set the stage for conversations about local eating over the last two decades. In 2020, the phrase “eating local” took another major shift as COVID-19 created challenges for local businesses. The focus on sustaining small, local companies turned the focus away from food sourcing and towards the regional economy and the people preparing and selling their wares. Today, we'll dig into the different forms “eating local” can take—and reflect on what value it might bring to our lives. Listen in. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at www.EdibleTheology.com.

This week, Kendall and Kate sit down with the one and only Phil Vischer—creator of the Veggie Tales universe. They open with the question on everyone's mind: why...vegetables?

Phil shares insights into the technological nightmare that was the first few episodes, the shifts that paved the way towards success, and the things Phil would do over again if he could.

This week, Kendall and Kate talk with Dr. Ellen Davis, a professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and Practical Theology at Duke Divinity School. Dr. Davis uses this opportunity to share with us the profound importance of allowing children to wrestle with the hard stories of Scripture in slow, thoughtful, contemplative ways. When we try to protect children from stories of brokenness, she shares, a reality they *know* exists in the world, we cut them off from the story of redemption too. We actually obscure the very gift that our faith offers them. Adam breaks down the song Endangered Love, more commonly known as Barbara Manattee. Want to watch along?
