  • Ep 35 – Doug Hammack, Author, Minister,

    Doug is a minister of a church in Raleigh. But that doesn't quite capture it. Because he's not simply trying to protect his congregation from the scary, ever-changing world outside. He is trying to participate in the revolution that's already underway. A revolution that requires a brand new look at faith and spirituality —of contents and containers, metaphors and rituals—or else things labeled "christian" will continue to divide people, and/or die like most everything else we see fading into history. We talk about sex, certainty, special relativity and so much more!

  • Ep 33 – What the Bible* Clearly** Says***

    Some thoughts on telling people that they are at odds with "clear teaching of scripture" and how that generally causes infinitely more problems than it could ever solve. And also, there are no non-heretics who follow Jesus, so let's be more thoughtful about the labels we apply if we feel we must apply them!

  • Ep 32 – Karl Forehand, Author "Apparent Faith"

    Karl did what everybody of faith wants to do: let their actual experience of self-sacrificing love shape their interpretation of the Bible and its depictions of God. Yet, most of us only feel free to do this defining in the reverse.

    As a former (and current!) pastor, as well as a father — and now grandfather! — Karl gives us permission to think God might be as loving as Jesus died insisting God is. But it might take faith to believe this good news.

  • Ep 31 – God Doesn't Gag.

    There's a way of thinking about the value — and even the morality — of certain people and ideas based on how icky we feel. We often map this icky feeling onto how we think it makes God feel.

    If you're willing to think differently about this (even if you always feel the same), you might discover a whole new way of being as merciful, loving and inclusive as the very Jesus who was crucified by those who labeled him unclean!

  • Ep 28 – Leslie Verner, author Invited: The Power of Hospitality in an Age of Loneliness.

    "True hospitality is not clean, comfortable, or controlled. It is an invitation to enter a sacred space together with friends and strangers. Through vivid accounts from her life and travels in Uganda, China, and Tajikistan, and stories of visiting congregations in the United States, Verner shares stories of life around the table and how hospitality is at the heart of Christian community." -Amazon description
