Pub Theology founder and host Bryan Berghoef joins Ogun and the returning Rev. Shannon Meacham to discuss his run for congress and the importance of pub theology discussions. Also, a look forward of what the next year of the podcast will look like.

Layton Williams joins us for lament, laughter and reflections on the seeming impossibility of the death of Rachel Held Evans.

We talk favorite television shows, the ability of film to portray the depths of the human experience as well as spiritual themes, and whether the quality of television is improving or becoming worse. Plus: when does fandom become idolatry? Layton Williams joins us to discuss!

We talk about Holy Week: what is the significance of Jesus entering Jerusalem as he did? Of his actions at the temple? Why did Jesus die and why has this event been so central to the heart of the world’s largest religion?

What would you do for a million dollars? What was Judas' motivation for selling out Jesus? We discuss money, trust, betrayal and more! Tune in for some conversation on life and faith, over a craft-brewed pint!

What role does humor play in a worship service, if any? We discuss our take, share some laughs, and discuss the fine line between serious and playful, and how laughter can make our lives better.

We talk "Holy Envy"—how we can not only learn from other faith traditions and people of no faith, but appreciate, admire, and even envy some of the beautiful traditions and practices they espouse. Also, Bryan threatens to leap off tall buildings in a single bound.

We talk about what happened in New Zealand and the intersection of Islamophobia, guns, fear, and white supremacy. We also discuss finding common ground across religious traditions, and how Christians and people of other faiths can support Muslims around the world.

Is signing the Bible appropriate? Why or why not? What makes the Bible different from other books, if anything? And if even the devil quotes the Bible, what value does quoting the Bible hold? Tune in to all this and more on Episode 123!
