Multicultural Ministries and Racial and Ethnic Studies—Part 2 Artwork

Episcopal Priest Explains

Episcopal Priest Kyle Martindale tackles various topics, from religion and theology to pop culture. In the first few minutes, he takes a crack at explaining the topic for the episode and sometimes submitted questions before bringing in someone who is much more knowledgeable on the subject. With his signature blend of comedy and seriousness, Episcopal Priest Explains becomes an approachable entry point into sometimes difficult subjects.
