This episode is a talk I gave at the Center for Pastor Theologians annual conference held in Oak Park, IL, in September 2024. In this talk, I try to unpack what the Bible says about a Christian political identity by looking at the Scriptural themes of exile and Babylon. The talk was received fairly well, espeically by the Anabaptists in the back, who were hootin' and hollerin'. Others had some really thoughtful questions and pushback.

Micah is a 23 year old female who has been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, where she has over 100 alters (what some people might think of as personalities, though this isn’t the most accurate term). Nathan, her father, is a former Pastor. Micah was diagnosed in January 2019, which began a remarkable journey of understanding and healing. I wanted to have this conversation for at least three reasons. (1) I’m curious about lots of different things, especially kinds of people and experiences that I don’t know much about. DID is certainly one of those areas. I’m bringing almost nothing to this table. (2) I’m particularly curious about minority experiences—people and stories and experiences that most people don’t have. (3) I think there can be a lot of fear and misunderstanding, which can lead to stigmatization, around certain psychological conditions like DID—especially with movies like Split, which we’ll get into. So, I hope this raw and honest conversation will help reduce the fear, misunderstanding, and indeed the stigma surrounding Dissociative Identity Disorder and other similar experiences.

Joey is my brotha from another motha. He also has a Ph.D. in New Testament from Aberdeen University, is the Dr. Craig L. Blomberg Endowed Chair of New Testament at Denver Seminary, and is the author of several scholarly books and peer reviewed articles. His latest book is excellent: Conquerers Not Captives: Reframing Romans 7 for the Christian Life. In this conversation, we go all over the place. If you like New Testament scholarly stuff, especially the Jewish and Greco-Roman context of the NT, you'll enjoy our nerdy banter. Oh, and we do talk quite a bit about Colossians in the last half of the episode.
