Brian McLaren is an author, speaker, activist, public theologian, and a friend who’s helped me a lot over the years. I’ve read many, many of his books and am really glad to have him on the channel today to talk about …

authoritarianism and why it’s alive and well in our world, why it’s a left wing and a right wing problem, creativity and writing, the 40 day indigenous vision quest of Jesus, relational theology and how events are things that happen to us in the midst of change, and much more, including the world premiere of the opening line of a song i composed while in a interview at a church a couple years ago, which goes … “I’d rather be hiking thinkin’ about God than sitting in church thinkin’ about hikin'.” And if you ask, yes, I will give the rest of the lyrics. 😂

We love artists, particularly those with a sense of humor, and that's why it was fun to have Savannah Locke on the OffCanon show today. Find her substack here and make sure to pick up her lastest album here. Just think, you could be doing all that while you’re listening to our conversation with her about christian music, violence, anti-violence, the presence of God in the most unexpected places, references to Bob Bell, and why we should change Tori’s name to Shannon. 

Thank you everyone, ✌🏼

In today’s conversation, Tori and I cover all kinds of important stuff: Pastoring during intense times of empire, parenting, love as justice, suffering, and some very interesting commentary around the baptism of Jesus. Plus, well, flannel graph. Find Josh on on his substack or his website.

In this inaugural episode, Jonathan J. Foster and Tori E. Owens share how they ended up here—on the margins, off canon, and surprisingly okay with it. They talk about the cost of asking hard questions, the community you find when you stop pretending, sexuality, the strange journey of life, and ... cinnamon rolls.
