Canon Stephanie Spellers joins co-hosts, Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrow and Brian Sellers-Petersen for a wide ranging discussion that centers around her latest book, Church Tomorrow? What the 'Nones' and 'Dones' Teach Us About the Future of Faith.

“Remarkable . . . a vision for the future that is decidedly not the way we’ve always done it but instead shaped by the way of Jesus and his love.” 

From the foreword by Michael B. Curry, former Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church

“Stephanie Spellers has given us so much: in-depth analysis of religious practice in America, and a chance to hear the stories of young adults seeking spiritual meaning who aren't finding it in our churches. More importantly, she challenges us to hear what they have to say as a prophetic word to the church.”

Mariann Budde, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and author of How to Be Brave

Rev. Pete Nunnally joins Triple S to talk about his new book that launches on May 8th: Catching Hope: The Hidden Spiritual Wisdom of Fishing. We also spend some time learning about Water and Wilderness Church, a spiritual community that is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. 

Co-host, Brian Sellers-Petersen and occasional guest co-host, Derrick Weston, welcome Gideon Pollach, from St John’s Episcopal Church in Cold Stream Harbor, NY. Our conversation centers around a pond, church, and BlueGreen Theology. 

BlueGreen Theology is not a theology illustrated by nature. It is a theology that could only have been learned from a specific place. Over nearly a decade of standing beside St. John's Pond — through sermons and restoration projects, through broken weirs and bishop searches, through illness and children and the full weight of a life — a coherent framework has emerged.

Muamba Chicken Recipe

• 3-3 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/4 cup palm oil
• 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2–3 onions, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 whole hot pepper (such as Scotch Bonnet)
• 1 lb butternut squash cubes
• 18–20 okra, cut into 1-inch lengths
• 2 cups chicken broth (plus more if needed)
• Salt and pepper

1. Place chicken in a large bowl, add the lemon juice and next six ingredients, toss well to coat.
2. Heat palm and canola oils in a large skillet or dutch oven. Add the chicken and saute on both sides until browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Add onions to the pan and saute until translucent. Add tomatoes, garlic, white pepper, smoked paprika and whole hot pepper, stirring until well combined.
4. Return chicken to the pan, add butternut squash, okra, and chicken broth (adding more if necessary, it should cover the chicken) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve over rice.
