Episode 1: (Re)Thinking Patterson
Music: Dirty Gertie by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com
Outline:
1. Identity Crisis in the Church
2. The role of Community
a. Creating non-judgmental space
b. The interconnectedness of Creation/ the Illusion of separation
3. Wrestling with Trauma
4. Theopoetics and ecological justice
5. Hope and co-creation with the divine
a. Love as the core of Existence
Content warning:
explicit language, discussing suicide
Summary:
It’s the very first Episode of Get Behind Me Jesus! A podcast for progressive Christians and “Spiritual-not-religious folks” looking to get away from the toxic ideas of a whitewashed faith and explore the more authentic person and teachings of Jesus and other religious experiences. I hope that you enjoy my conversation with my first Guest, Josh Patterson (that’s right) the host of (Re)Thinking Faith – he’s a pretty damn cool dude.
We talk about a variety of things as you can see in the outline, but it really all comes down to love. Despite our individual trauma, we have come to hold a faith that is resilient and flexible – not afraid of ambiguity, but embracing the opportunities (and lure) to know the divine better and explore the interconnectedness of the cosmos.I’m thankful for Josh, his willingness to help me kick things off, and more than that, his openness and vulnerability – it’s what makes him so good at what he does.
