Homebrewed Christianity

Bo sat down with J. Ryan Parker last month after they were given a sneak-peek at the movie 12 Years A Slave. After a review of the merits in the movie-making elements of the film, the talk turns theological. 

If you haven't seen the movie, you may want to skip to the 13-14 minutes mark to avoid some big spoilers. 

Around the 38th minute mark is when things turn theological.

You can find Parker's review over at Pop Theology [here]

You can find Bo's theological reflection [here]

Jonnie joined my in the HBC Headquarters in Redondo Beach. In the podcast we start discussing the resurrection exchange between Marcus Borg & Tony Jones [aka ToJo] & then end up on the necessity of a physical resurrection, atonement, eschatology, evangelical's Easter concern, and Pannenberg.

Attempting to fill in for the BoDaddy is a difficult task but Jonnie did a pretty good job.  I think I will let him back on the TNT w/ the BoDaddy so Bo can make sure we actually stay on topic.  You will notice I actually start a couple lists of theological options and then get distracted by Pannenberg and John Cobb.  The BoDaddy is a pro and knows to limit such theological temptations.  During the podcast we drank the Burning Bush IPA and gave a shout out to 350.org for climate change info.

In the podcast we discuss these books:

1) Bodies and Souls, or Spirited Bodies? & Beyond Liberalism and Fundamentalism by  Nancey Murphey

2) Jesus: God & Man by Wolfhart Pannenberg

3) Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time by Marcus Borg

4) Old Testament Theology by Gerhard von Rad

Get ready for a conversation about sexuality and film with evangelicals.  Chelsea McInturff, Samantha Curley, and Ryan Bell visit the HBC headquarters in Redondo Beach to chat up the planet's first film festival exploring faith, gender and sexuality.

Not only will you hear about the upcoming film festival and how you can support it, but you will hear the story of how a Seminary student group came to kick-off the Level Ground film festival.   Fuller is the largest Evangelical seminary in the world and the first to sanction an official LGBT student group, One Table, started by Samantha and Chelsea. The community developed there birthed the Level Ground Film Festival.

With over 5 years of interviews under out belt - having gone from just friends listening to 50k - realizing that there are a ton of people who can't get the best interviews from the past - let us introduce you to Homebrewed Christianity Barrel Aged podcast. I will be re-releasing the best interviews from the early days, super-short new intros, and hopefully doctored audio. This is the second episode of John Caputo's first visit to the podcast.  It was an EPIC conversation you are sure to enjoy.  It's like meeting JC again for the first time!

Make sure you check out the amazing bloggers engaging Caputo's newest book The Insistence of God on a Homebrewed Book Tour.

Daniel Kirk is on the podcast.  The most sensational Theo-Blogger, Homebrewing, Fuller Professor of New Testament, and fellow Wake Forest Demon Deacon [he also went to Duke and UNC Chapel Hill but I forgive him for that... Go Deacs!] is on the podcast with a bunch of topics he's looking to settle with me.  We had an amazing local for this conversation... only Orange County's greatest brewery... the Bruery.  Not only is the Bruery in my Top 10 list of Craft Breweries but Deacon Brian White is one of their master of the taps.

Kirk's previous visits to the podcast include this LIVE one from Mark Scandrette's house party in San Fran with Philip Clayton and a sweet discussion of Easter recorded during Holy Week. Go check out his blog & follow him on twitter.

In this bonus track Bo chats with Micky Jones about the now infamous Rachel Held Evans post on CNN Religion about young people leaving the church.

Then Bo and Tripp chat about what the topic means as youth pastors at Mainline churches.

These two conversation were originally recorded earlier this summer as part of a bigger conversation that never came together ... but instead of just getting rid of the audio, we wanted to use your responses to frame a future episode of the TNT.

Please comment on this post or use the SpeakPipe on the homepage to let us know your thoughts!
