Brian McLaren, Randy Woodley, Edith Woodley

Booking Overview

This spiritually focused interview and roundtable show explores Christianity, biblical interpretation, contemplative practice, social justice, and Indigenous perspectives, with occasional external guests who are typically prominent authors or public voices. PR agencies could credibly pitch published theologians, spiritual teachers, justice advocates, Indigenous leaders, and authors with meaningful personal or professional perspectives on transformation; booking is likely high-difficulty because the demonstrated guest caliber includes a New York Times bestselling author.
