South by East

Welcome to the South By East Podcast, where we discuss culture, the scriptures, and everything in between and how they impact SE Topeka with your co-hosts Johnathan Sublet and Brail Watson. Why this podcast? Hi-Crest is 2 miles from the capitol building, but most people have no idea where it is. We live in a seemingly connected world, but the everyday person can feel disconnected. You can wonder how the scriptures and the city, state, national, and global events hit me as an ordinary person. How should I respond? How can I grow my knowledge of them and their impact on my community? Beyond that, how can the everyday person with little time and resources who already feel overwhelmed by life lead transformational movements in their context? We will use the podcast for interviewing others, talking about current events, and sharing what we see as a part of our work in the Hi-Crest community. We hope this time together will reaffirm the value of living a normal, non-radical life while consistently loving others over the long term for those in Southeast Topeka and beyond.
