July 25, 2018 Theology on Tap IV: Holy Sex! Humanae Vitae 50 Years Later (Brandon Wanless, Ph.D)
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!...to both Brian and his wife, Michelle (3 years) AND to the promulgation of Humanae Vitae (50 years). In honor of this day (Wednesday, July 25th), we've decided to reorder our release of our Theology on Tap series. Instead of the 4th talk (which we will return to, rest assured) we are skipping to our 6th talk, by Brandon Wanless, called "Holy Sex! Humanae Vitae 50 Years Later." In this presentation, Brandon does a tremendous job laying out the historical context of the document, what the document actually says, and what has happened since the documents release. Of course, there is an excellent Q&A session afterward. Enjoy!

July 23, 2018 Theology on Tap III: Eflangelization (Eric Klein)
In our third installment of the Theology on Tap series, we have a talk that was a surprise for all of us (including Brian and Eric!). When our originally-scheduled speaker became ill a few hours before the talk, an emergency audible was pulled, and Eric ended up delivering a talk on the great American Catholic author Flannery O'Connor and what her witness tells us about evangelization today. Enjoy!

It's the end of the Season 1, and the dudes concludeth by discussing last week's interview with Phil and answering his question about saints. They also reflect on an incredible first season of the podcast and lay out the plan for the impending four-week break. BONUS: Brian unveils the Season 1 blooper reel, a long with the original theme song he proposed last August (which Eric promptly vetoed, so blame him if you prefer it). Enjoy, everyone! And thanks for listening.

June 04, 2018 EPISODE XL: Love, Wounds, and Love
This week, the boys sit down to discuss Brian Foley's fascinating interview. They discuss in particular woundedness in the Church, as well as tackling his big question about transgenderism.
As a brief side note: the transgender topic is an immense and complicated issue which cannot possibly be tackled effectively in a single episode. Rather than devote the next four years of this podcast to the question, we at the Passing Currents Podcast decided to focus on response on starting the conversation, if you will. We hope that this episode leaves you wanting to dig more. We encourage you to check our recommended reads, do your own digging, and shoot us your questions as you have them. We'd love to hear from you and have a deeper, further conversation about this important issue.
