Episode 99: The Gospel According to Dolly Parton: Love, Judgment, and the God Spark
Om avsnittet
The flags are at half mast for a woman who never held office. That alone tells you something about who Dolly Parton was.
Jaisa and Rachael honor her, and sit with the thing that keeps surfacing as the tributes come in. Conservative Christians and drag queens. The LGBTQ community, the Black community, and the Pentecostal church that raised her. Almost nobody gets claimed by all of those rooms, and she managed it without softening who she was.
They walk through the one room cabin, the eleven siblings, the father who never learned to read. Then the part this show cares about most. Dolly believed there was a God spark in every person and made it her job to go looking for it. She called herself spiritual rather than religious, and refused, repeatedly and on the record, to judge anybody.
Hard to argue with love.
