Description

Unfiltered faith & justice conversations.

Medene is a black Catholic from California with Pentecostal roots (COGIC). James is a gay Catholic from rural Kentucky.

At a time when millions of us are disaffected and disaffiliating from the religion we grew up with, God Talk creates honest dialogue about faith and life. We share our on-going process of deconstructing and reconstructing theological beliefs & spiritual practices.

We commit to social justice, we practice prayer & ritual from multiple traditions, and we welcome disagreement. Welcome to God Talk with Medene and James!
