The Curian Podcast, hosted by Rev. Jill Elizabeth and Jonathan J. Foster, is for intellectually honest faith leaders, theological migrants, and anyone navigating what it means to build new communities oriented around uncontrolling love. / Through conversations with authors, theologians, pastors, and thinkers, we reimagine a Christianity less influenced by power-seeking, scapegoating, and false certainty. We also explore how theology shows up in pop culture, asking what our cultural narratives reveal about love, trauma, community, and what it means to be human. / This podcast is especially for pastors, chaplains, and spiritual directors—people who need theological depth and the reminder that meaning is made in community, not in isolation. Whether unpacking open and relational thought, mimetic theory, or cultural phenomena, the goal is the same: to put love where there is no love and help move the world forward one conversation at a time. / About the Hosts: Jill Elizabeth is a credentialed Reverend, host of the Curian Podcast, and board member at Heal & Thrive Global. A mom of three and business owner, she specializes in connecting systems thinking with compassion, fostering transformative conversations on faith, life, and resilience. / Jonathan J. Foster is a theologian, author, podcaster, and father of three who holds a doctorate in theology from Northwind Seminary. He is the founder and chief advocate of Love Haiti and facilitates the Curian Network (formerly Open Table Network), resourcing and credentialing pastors, chaplains, spiritual directors, counselors, and faith leaders committed to love-centered leadership. / Learn more at thecurian.network and follow along on social media @thecurian.network on Facebook and Instagram. / Production and original music by Ruthie Santiago Productions
