Fire Poppies and the Subtext: Savannah Locke on Finding the Sacred in Pop Culture

Can a Netflix series or a Gilmore Girls rerun carry a word from God? On this episode of Complex Creatures, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons sits down with singer, author, and podcaster Savannah Locke, co-host of The Subtext, to talk about reading pop culture for its spiritual undercurrents. Savannah shares the fire poppy that became her life metaphor, why she threw a phone-free album launch for Songs of Peace in Times of War, and how a scene in Gilmore Girls opened up new names for God. They wrestle with shrinking attention spans, Paul Kingsnorth's Against the Machine, the strange success of Theo of Golden, and what it means to read the Bible against ourselves rather than as a weapon. A thoughtful case for paying attention.
