The Exile Project
Explore stories from the Bible alongside personal stories from the 21st century. Join your hosts, Patricia Manwaring and Elisa Booker, who have had the opportunity to deconstruct their postmodern Christian faith and still think there's something beautiful to hold onto. The Exile Project invites you on a journey to look at the story of the Biblical narrative through a new lens that can bring healing and life. This podcast is a production of Worship Lab.
