The Staff of Ra, Sister Sledge, and the Secret to World Peace (V)

About this episode

The episode explores the connections between disco culture, family dynamics, and theological insights through the lens of Sister Sledge's music and cultural events.

What do 40,000 exploding disco records, a White Sox forfeit, Cardinal Crabby Pants, and Ephesians 2 have in common? More than you'd think. This week the RevCast crew digs into Sister Sledge's We Are Family and discovers that the same cultural rage that blew a crater in center field in 1979 is still shaping how we treat each other today. Plus: Pastor Steve finally comes clean about something, the Indiana Jones canon gets cited as scripture, and we make a surprisingly strong theological case for leaving the toilet seat down. Come for the disco demolition history lesson, stay for the reminder that God is literally building us into something together dysfunctional family and all.
