It's been a long time coming but we finally connected with Peter Rollins after months of email exchanges. We had an incredible discussion on Atheism for Lent, the similarity between theism and atheism. And Peter even weighed in on the phenomenon of Street Epistemolgy. David is taking a break for a while to work on some projects but I am sure he will be back. Stay tuned to the end to enjoy some reflections and music from Peter's good friend Padraig O TuamaCheck out our Kickstarter campaign for Shcare:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/867748528/shcare-for-indie-artists

This week concludes the Trinity of Gavin, Milo, and Lauren. We had an amazing and insightful discussion on modern third wave feminism. Lauren is a Journalist, Political Activist, and YouTuber. You will see very quickly that Lauren is very passionate about her work and the causes she stands up for. It was amazing to have a female perspective on feminism and all the craziness going on in the world today in relation to the movement.http://fundamentalescape.net/Email us: [email protected]

So proud to present part two of Strange Humans, a look back over the last 22 episodes, this is a fun roller coaster of a conversation reflecting on the ups and downs of podcasting. We highlight all the guests and our thoughts looking back. Enjoy...http://fundamentalescape.net/Phantom Rescuehttp://www.phantomrescue.org/go/TFE

Jennifer Knapp was one of the most successful Christian artists back in the late 90's and early 2000's, with a distinctive honest and vulnerable sound she rose to the top very quickly in the Christian world. After two albums back to back combined with endless touring she burnt out and dropped off the scene for a number of years. Over the last few years she has re-emerged with a fresh voice and new songs that reflect the truth of someone who has been on a journey. Jennifer came out as gay a few years back and was interviewed on Larry King Live on the whole subject. Website:http://fundamentalescape.net/

In the final episode for 2015 Mark caught up with Reese Roper from Five Iron Frenzy, we discuss the phenomena of the Christian music scene and the bubble in which it existed. Reese is very open about his feeling about the Christian music scene and the marketing element to it. We discuss some of the classic Five Iron Frenzy tracks and talk about the genesis of the band. Mark's twin brother James makes a guest appearance at the end of the interview to reflect on his thoughts and share some of his own journey with Music and Faith.This episode is brought to you by Phantom Rescue a charity helping to get children out of Human Trafficking, find out more about them here http://www.phantomrescue.org/go/TFEWebsite:http://fundamentalescape.net/

So this week Mark had the chance to chat with Jimi Hunt who is the founder of Live More Awesome which is a charity whose goal is to remove the stigma around Mental Health, This was one of the most honest and open discussions on a subject that is all too often covered over and not talked about. Jimi is a brutally honest kind of guy as you will learn in the episode. We discuss the origin story of Live More Awesome and what they have been up to around the place. We have to point out that Jimi graciously agreed to be a guest on the podcast before discovering the subject matter we typically discuss but he was totally a good sport and brought some incredible wisdom to the table and even weighed in here and there on his views on religion and spirituality. May this episode be an encouragement to anyone out there who is struggling with anything they feel can't be talked about.Website:http://fundamentalescape.net/

This week our guest host Rachel Edge had the chance to catch up with the founder of Charity Water Scott Harrison. His journey into Charity Water started with a question, "What would the opposite of my life look like?" Scott was a promoter for nightclubs and fashion events in New York and eventually found himself proufoundly bored with the lavish lifestyle he was living. Desperate for change he found himself signing up with Mercy Ships which is a humanitarian organanization which offers free medical care in the worlds poorest nations. This experience profoundly moved him to the point where he could not go back to his life the way it was. Charity Water was founded in 2006 and has literally helped reach millions of people with clean drinking water, they also do this on 100% model meaning every penny you donate goes to the water projects, amazing!!!Please consider donating to charity water here also check out their birthday campaign hereWebsite:http://fundamentalescape.net/
