Homebrewed Christianity

Amy and Christian Piatt from Homebrewed CultureCast join Tripp to extend a warm invitation to join the Surviving the Bible for Lent community. For a lot of us these texts have been used as weapons, experienced as burdens, so let’s acknowledge that together and discover what it looks like to survive the bible today. If you’re interested… Read more about Surviving the Bible (for Lent)

Guess what? I made a movie.

The Road to Edmond

It's a buddy road trip comedy that explores questions around faith, sexuality, Jesus, and other dinner topics.

I can't wait for you to see the trailer and this Spring/Summer the film itself.

In this episode the film's producer, David Trotter, asks me questions, provokes stories, and gets me ranting a couple times.

Since Indie films are just that  - indie - I hope you consider being a part of the film's hype team (of sorts). I am excited for all the conversations the film will spark and hope you all can help us get the word out.

On the podcast is Amy Brown Hughes, assistant professor of theology at Gordon College, and co-author withLynn Cohick, professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, of the book Christian Women in the Patristic World.

Amy wanted to understand what influence the women of this period had on the development of Christianity, and, more importantly, how can women in the church own that tradition.

• why don't we know more about these stories?
• how the role and power of women shift in relation to the church's relation to empire?
• what are the biggest misconceptions about this period in the church and the academy?
• how do the martyr narratives continue to shape discipleship when we're out of that context?

Plus, theology as responsible remembrance, negotiating the history of the church in today's context, dealing with the uncomfortable parts of the past while still receiving the tradition responsibly, and Gregory of Nyssa of the submission of Christ and 1 Corinthians 15:20-28.

You can get a copy of Athanasius' On the Incarnation here.

Bill Leonard, author of the Homebrewed Guide To Church History, is back on the podcast - this time LIVE at Wake Forest University School of Divinity.

Tripp and Bill talk about his love of history, the concept of history, the politics of who gets to define what history is and what the church is in a postmodern context, growing up a baptist in the 60's, and white supremacy in church history.

Hear Bill talk about the tension between wanting to be a part of an ethnically diverse congregation while at the same time not wanting to dilute the voices of minority or marginalized groups, confederate monuments in downtown Raleigh and the "lost cause" mythology, and the death rattle of protestant privilege.

To kick off the first Homebrewed interview of the new year, Tripp is talking with John Swinton about time, disability, and all things nerdy.

John is the Chair in Divinity and Religious Studies at the School of Divinity, History, and Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen and founder of the Centre for the Study of Spirituality, Health and Disability. Learn a little bit about how John become vocationally a scholar of religion and interested in religion and disability studies, how his work as a chaplain lead to his work as a practical theologian, and how issues surrounding the lives of people with disability shaped his research interests.

John gives a very helpful and simple definition of practical theology, talks about the rituals and practices in the life of the church and their impact on the lives of people with disabilities, disability and the shift from charity to discipleship, and the way our conception of time shapes our ideas of friendships and relationship from his newest book, Becoming Friends of Time: Disability, Timefullness, and Gentle Discipleship.

• what does it mean for someone with advanced dementia to have forgotten, perhaps, who Jesus is, and yet still be a disciple with a vocation in the church?
• is inclusion really the solution for people with disabilities within the church?
• how does disability change our perception of what it means to be human?

Plus, Tripp and John talk about a theology of time, Saint Augustine's discussion of time in Confessions, our obsession with time and how it has shaped our ideas of vocation in the modern world, memory and embodied spiritual practices, the need for honesty and lament and how all of this changes our understanding of Jesus' healing narratives, and the spiritual dimension of health and how ideas of health in the bible are different from what Western medicine considers health.

John mentions this paper in the conversation, and you can find a great syndicate discussion about John's book with his replies here.

Get ready to Advent and chill.

Tripp heads to Christ the King Lutheran Church in Cary, North Carolina and is joined by Will Rose and Daniel Pugh to talk about the theological significance of cosplay and comic books, the virgin birth and incarnation, and of course, making Advent great again.

They tackle some questions from the Make Advent Great Again pop-up community, such as:

• What is advent anyway?
• What are we supposed to do with the virgin birth stuff?
• Is Advent apocalyptic?

Plus, they discuss the inherent tension we feel in Advent, how to actively hope, the importance of the prophets this time of year, the unexpected ways God enters the world, the ways the gospel narratives subvert imperial narratives through the virgin birth story, how to redeem words that creep out progressive Christians, and how the new Star Wars movie and Advent are connected.

So calm down, chill, and make your Advent great again.
