ERB Editor C. Christopher Smith sat down at the recent CCDA conference with two first-time podcast guests, Stephanie Vander Lugt and Kimberlee Medicine Horn Jackson, each of whom hosted CCDA workshops. They discuss their work as it relates to the religious practices of indigenous people, the importance of attentiveness, and of course, what they are currently reading.

She is also a doctoral student researching “The Writers of the Sioux Nation and Their Response to Colonized Christian Witness.”
