S1E2: This ’n That

Faithfulcrum

Faithfulcrum Conversations on faith, spirit, creativity and meaning

Faithfulcrum is a space for openhearted dialogue about the things that move us — and the things we’re still trying to understand. Hosted by Mark and Scott, lifelong friends and creative collaborators, each episode weaves together story, song, and searching conversation to explore how we live, create, and believe in a complex world.

From late-night thoughts to original music, Faithfulcrum embraces the tension between mystery and clarity — not to solve it, but to stay with it faithfully.

S1E1: Mother and Child

Sunday Aug 28, 2022

Mark and Scott chat about four "proof-texts" from the Bible that are frequently used on multiple sides of the national debate around abortion and women's reproductive rights.
Intro hymn: "To the Work" Words by J. Crosby, performed by Edison Mixed Quartette, 1908.
New hymn: "Mother and Child" by Scott Simpson, 2022

Mark and Scott have been in conversation for fifty years. Born twenty-six days apart into the same complicated religious tradition, they grew up fluent in scripture and shape note singing —steeped in a culture of certainty and devotion.

They're descendants of elders, deacons, ministers —people compelled to interpret and proclaim the Word. They're still wondering what that word might mean.

Scott is a poet, author, educator, songwriter, and community creator. Mark, an educator, performer, provocateur. Together, they bring a shared curiosity to every encounter.

Faithfulcrum holds space at the intersection of faith, spirit, creativity, and meaning —asking: What now? What’s still worth saying? What remains, desperately, to be said?
