S2.E15 | Introducing: Our Elijah/1st Kings Project!
Hannah, Jackson, Phil and Maddie have been hard at work translating for *drum roll* a live scripture enactment! This week on the podcast the crew talks about what the process has been like so far. Specifically the weirdness that is the Hebrew language and the many different stories that could be being told in 1 Kings 16 and 17 including its echos of Merlin stories. We hope you are as excited as we are about this upcoming project.  A fun question for this week: how many times did you hear Jackson say the word "chunk" and was it enough? While we work to prepare enactments for a live show (or a few), we will be sharing more content on our socials (posted below). To create space for this, episodes are going to temporarily switch to a once a month posting schedule. We hope you will follow along with us as we engage scripture in this special way.

Happy Liturgical Shenanigan Day ANNDDD Happy Advent! This week the team discusses what it means to engage embodied practices and shenanigans. What does embodied mean?

Each week features a scripture reflection and an embodied practice to engage. You can access the full devotional on Emmaus Church's website here: https://emmausreformedchurch.org/advent-devotional/.

ANNNNNNDDD we're back! In this episode your favorite shenantanigizers return and discuss what exactly they believe and long for Wayfolk Arts to do via a manifesto. You can read the draft of the manifesto they engage here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zcu8fRf1Snx6VrIr-xerjzEhrNsNX2jgcd5bhUzMUk0/edit?usp=sharing Correction corner- Hannah defends her choice of the word manifesto by claiming a love for a Wendell Berry poem she titles "The Mad Farmer Manifesto" when it is in fact titled "Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front."
