Coffee, Theology, and Jesus

Tim interviewed Ken Fish, founder of Orbis Ministries, to discuss the supernatural aspects of the Christian faith focusing on the spiritual gifts often referred to as the “charismatic gifts of the Spirit.” Tim asks questions about Ken’s personal story, Ken’s view of the supernatural gifts, and the large amount of prophets claiming Trump will ultimately win the election.Ken Fish is a native of the Los Angeles area and an honor’s graduate of Princeton University with a degree in History and Philosophy of Religion. He concentrated on the writings of the early church fathers, the history of late antiquity and of the early middle ages. He subsequently earned his Master of Divinity degree from Fuller Theological Seminary with emphases in theology and intercultural communications.

This week, we FINALLY had someone on our podcast that has a tie to the coffee industry! Tim interviewed Mitch Reaume, the Founder & CEO of “Fight For Something”. They discussed the idea of “Social Business” and how the mission of Mitch’s business is to see social business go from being a niche to a norm. At some point, business became more about profit than anything else, and now Mitch is trying to do something about by building brands that concentrate on sustainability, ethically sourced goods, impacting the culture for good, and always giving back!Also – finally had a real conversation on brewing coffee – which is big… ya know… since our podcast is COFFEE, Theology, and Jesus.

This week Tim interviews Ben Cremer: native of Boise, ID, Lead Pastor at Euclid Avenue Church of the Nazarene, and co-founder of A Plain Account. Ben is a lover of history (world, American, and church) and the topics covered in this interview have a profound impact on the current events of our world and in our churches.

This week Tim and Jordan get together to have a response to the insurrection at the US Capitol and the appearance of Jesus banners and Christian flags during the events. As always, we are mostly concerned with the Christian and Church culture and how we are reflecting Jesus to the world. So you can imagine our dismay when something like the events on January 6th, 2021 is tied (loosely or directly) to “Christianity” we want to be able to stand up and call things out that need to be addressed. We hope you enjoy the discussion this week.

This week Tim and Jordan had John Mark McMillan on the show! He is probably best known for the famous song “How He Loves” but has had a career in music that includes many studio and live albums, countless tours, and a profound impact on music.

We discuss the worship music industry, the meaning and understanding of songs, pain, suffering, and mental health, and so much in between.

We apologize for the audio issues experienced but know you will enjoy the episode.

This week Tim interviewed Dr. David Gushee and essentially covered two topics including American Evangelicalism and their entanglement with the Republican Party and LGBTQ affirmation and inclusion in the church. Rob and Jordan do join Tim after the interview to briefly discuss their thoughts of the interview.While we understand these are both topics that provoke emotional responses, we wanted to have Dr. Gushee on to present a view that is different from the “traditional view” and begin a dialogue at the very least. These are large culturally relevant issues that the church needs to be equipped to discuss and encouraged to do so honestly, Biblically, and lovingly.For more information on Dr. David Gushee:Website: http://www.davidpgushee.com/Referenced Article: https://religionnews.com/2020/11/11/why-trumps-electoral-crisis-is-really-a-moral-crisis/Recent Book: https://www.amazon.com/After-Evangelicalism-Path-New-Christianity/dp/0664266118Book on LGBTQ Inclusion: https://www.amazon.com/Changing-Our-Mind-Definitive-Christians/dp/1942011849/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=changing+our+mind&qid=1607489046&s=books&sr=1-2

This week we (Tim and Rob) had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Randy Richards, known as E. Randolph Richards as an author. Randy has authored and co-authored many books and articles but we concentrate on his two books “Misreading Scripture With Western Eyes” and “Misreading Scripture With Individualist Eyes” in this interview. We discuss how different cultures interact with the Bible and why it is so important to understand the cultural context of the scriptures to get a full understanding of the text and the unwritten details in every story. We hope you find this interview intriguing and go and check out his books and articles further!Dr. Richards Info:WebsiteBooksIntervarsity Press
