The Sacred Collective

In this episode of the Sacred Collective we are excited to have Ben Seidel on the show to talk about deconstruction, hell, and everything in between. We dive into both of our religious pasts as well as talk about the future of the church in America and over seas. Ben is an American by birth but now lives in Berlin, Germany where he works and lives with his family. Ben is also a singer/songwriter under the moniker of: Roemer. Please check out his music on Itunes, spotify, youtube, or better yet, buy his music and support him that way. This was a very exciting conversation, we are pleased to let you all hear it. Enjoy!!!

Below are two quotes we talked about on the podcast:

"The church has an unconditional obligation toward the victims of any social order, even when those victims do not belong to the Christian community." Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"Philosophers have in various ways merely interpreted the world; the point, however, is to change it." Karl Marx

This talk from Revolution Minneapolis Brien continues to dive into the book of James. In this talk we focus on James 2:1-10. What does this portion of scripture say to us as modern readers and hearers of this message? In James 2 we can see that it is a dualism of being poor/rich, and how do we deal with it. The main thrust of this talk is how no one should show favoritism toward one another, but often times the church gives favor to those who have the money and riches we so crave.

In this episode Brien from the podcast interviews his best friend Rev. Dr. Scotty Williams a Reformed Church pastor based in Switzerland. In this episode we explore the question or better said the quote attributed to Saint Augustine, "The church is a whore, but she is still my mother." We dive into what the church means in our present context and if it is still relevant? Trigger warning... We talk a lot in this episode about church and all things church. If you are triggered by such language this is your warning. Buckle up, this conversation is fun and a little wild at times.

In the talk for Revolution Minneapolis, Brien talks about what it means to have True Faith. We explore James 1:26-27 and what it says about taking care of the widow, orphan, poor and what loving your neighbor means. Brien also explores the idea that if you call yourself a christian and you don not act like one, (actions) then can you call yourself one.

Brien from Revolution Minneapolis shares a talk about how Doubt in the bible is often shown as something bad, or hindering you from God. This talk which is based out of James 1, blows that notion out of the water and makes a case that doubt is not only a part of our faith but integral to it.

Brien has a very intriguing and vulnerable chat with Ashley on the podcast. Ashley was a former pastor who has deconverted from Christianity to atheism. This was a back and forth conversation about theology, god, church, and so much more. This conversation is all about respect, no one is trying to sway each other to the others position. This was an honest and robust interview between a Christian and an Atheist. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.

In this talk from Revolution Minneapolis, Brien takes us into a deep dive in how in reality Jesus was preaching subversive teachings the whole time. We explore how it was Rome and the religious people of the day that killed Jesus because his message was subversive and it flew in the face of the ideals of the time. After the talk we had a lively conversation with the congregation. Hope you all enjoy!
