This week on The Bulletin, hosts Mike Cosper and Nicole Martin take a look at the spooky and kooky—our obsession with horror flicks, the circus show wrapping up in the House of Representatives, and the hall of mirrors many women navigate to get equal pay. Special guest Kutter Callaway joins the show to talk about fear and his newest podcast, CT’s Be Afraid. Eric Kohn of the Acton Institute distills the complexities of the House and introduces us to the new Speaker, and Bible teacher Jen Wilkin shares new research about women’s compensation in the church.
Joining us this week: Kutter Callaway is the William K. Brehm Chair of Worship, Theology, and the Arts, as well as associate dean of the Center for Advanced Theological Studies, and associate professor of theology and culture at Fuller Seminary. He is author and contributor to several books, and his most recent book is Theology for Psychology and Counseling: An Invitation to Holistic Christian Practice. Some of his past titles include Techno-Sapiens in a Networked Era: Becoming Digital Neighbors, which he coauthored with Fuller’s Ryan Bolger; The Aesthetics of Atheism: Theology and Imagination in Contemporary Culture; and Deep Focus: Film and Theology in Dialogue.
