Homebrewed Christianity

Prepare yourself for some live theological goodness from the Subvert the Norm conference. In this episode you will hear Tripp and Jonnie talk with Catherine Keller about her newest book Cloud of the Impossible: Negative Theology and Planetary Entanglement among other subversively inspired topics. Then Jack Caputo arrives to settle a significant disagreement with Peter Rollins about the nature of humanity. It was simultaneously nerdy and hilarious, so do not listen until you are prepared to rub your chin while laughing.

This podcast was done under the influence of some spectacular beverages brewed by Oklahoma's Mad Farmer Brewing master - Charlie Sheldon. He not only can brew it up with the best of them, but he is the God Father of the Homebrewed Deaconate.

It's a cross-over podcast explosion! Homebrewed Christianity + LectioCast = zesty nerdiness!

In the CLOBBERCAST we tackle all the clobber passages some Christians use against the LGBTQ members of the church. Not only do we end up discussing the pastoral consequences and personal tensions connected to the larger conversation, but Rev. Mixon and Daniel share their own personal and powerful stories.

Tripp and Daniel are joined by Pastor Rick Mixon from the First Baptist Church, Palo Alto. Rick has been Senior Pastor of FBC Palo Alto since 2006.  Rick Mixon has been serving as an openly gay pastor in the American Baptist church for decades. He brings a barrel-aged-wisdom to the infamous clobber passages and these seemingly new struggles in the church.Previously, he served pastorates at Dolores Street Baptist Church in San Franciso and the First Baptist Church of Granville, Ohio. In addition to his ministerial training, he holds a Ph. D. in religion and psychology from the Graduate Theological Union and worked for many years as a psychotherapist and adjunct faculty at Holy Names College (Oakland), Pacific School of Religion (Berkeley) and Saybrook Graduate School in Humanistic Psychology (San Francisco.)

Daniel Kirk has been on a long journey whose first steps came with trying to figure out how to love his gay (non-Christian) neighbor as his straight self. While several of the clobber passages were mere adornments on along the way, a couple put up significant roadblocks. Unsurprisingly, those final roadblocks were cleared in tandem with his parting of ways with Fuller seminary this past year. Daniel is writing an ebook about his journey to becoming an open and affirming evangelical New Testament professor that should be available soon. A fuller treatment is in the works, walking through how we can say yes to the work of God in the lives of our same-sex partnered sisters and brothers, affirm the place of scripture in the church, and say no to the passages that condemn same-sex intercourse. Expect to see Gender, Race, Sex, and Power in 2017.

What if the death of God at the end of Modernity was stitched in the metaphysical assumptions from the outset? What if these assumptions can and should be challenged on scientific and philosophical grounds? What if these assumptions have been internalized, not just in the academy, but in the church?

This are a few of the questions we talk about in the first have of this podcast. Then we end up covering the incarnation, prayer, divine action, the history of Israel, and the evolution of God among other things.

John Cobb is the global leader of process theology and one of the greatest theological minds of the last fifty years. He is professor of theology emeritus at Claremont School of Theology in Claremont, California, and the cofounder of the Center for Process Studies. Tripp is in charge of his fan club - the #FANiacs. Cobb has published over 30 books so check them out.

Amos Yong is on the podcast talking about the spirit-filled God. His initial mini-lecture and the ensuing conversation were straight up energizing and sent me a thinking since we ended. I am confident that no matter what part of the theological spectrum you come from, this renewalist perspective on God will get the imagination a pumping!

The larger trajectory of this podcast is connected to his one volume systematic theology, Renewing Christian Theology: Systematics for a Global Christianity. We are reading this semester at the Hatchery and it is definitely worth it. Even more exciting is Dr. Amos' presence at the upcoming Enfolding Theology event! You can sign up now to join us in person or LIVE STREAM it online.

Amos Yong is the director of the Center for Missiological Research at Fuller Theological Seminary. Previously, he served as the dean of the School of Divinity at Regent University.

For more on Dr. Yong check out Tom Oord's excellent post on his legendary status.
