A limited series
surviving the either/or divide
Welcome to the Side Aisle, a podcast for those who know the either/or framework in faith and politics just isn't working anymore.
Side Aisle is a conversation between four friends—Sara Billups, Amanda Held Opelt, Kendall Vanderslice, and Lore Wilbert—about struggling to live in this contentious cultural moment with both grace and conviction in our families, our churches, our communities and, online. Where do you find belonging when your values have led you out of the mainstream and into the margins, a place we call the side aisle?
