Steve to Sam, Clint to Kate – Passing the Mantle

It’s an extra special episode with two of our favorite people, Janel Baker and Rev. Shayna Watson! Inspired by our discussion of the Hawkeye series, the gang gets together to talk about the topic of “passing the mantle” in comics, movies, academia and the church.

Discussed:

the nuances and complexities of passing the mantle(s) in Thor
THAT batsuit
choosing the mantle vs. being chosen for the mantle
Michael Keaton’s eyes
comparing the prophet Samuel to Tony Stark
choosing new voices in academia
accepting the mantle without losing your identity
how do congregations pass the mantle of leadership well?
