Theology Unplugged

In this episode, titled "Folk Theology 3," we delve into the passage in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them," and explore the common misconceptions surrounding this verse in folk theology, particularly within the context of prayer. We'll discuss how these misunderstandings can shape our approach to prayer and examine prayer itself as a reflection of our theology.

Additionally, we'll continue our discussion on incorrect views of heaven and address the notion of whether God is a cosmic vending machine, analyzing how these ideas can distort our faith and understanding of God.

Don't miss this engaging and thought-provoking discussion! Make sure to catch up on the previous episodes if you haven't already.

In this eighth episode of "Through Theology in a Year," part of our "Theology Unplugged" podcast, we dive deeper into folk theology with our third installment on this topic.

In this episode, we tackle some of the more challenging and controversial aspects of folk theology. I, Michael Patton, address misconceptions and deeply ingrained beliefs that often go unexamined. Some of the issues we'll discuss include the common interpretation of "where two or three are gathered in His name" and the belief that we will all have new abilities in heaven. We explore how these ideas can be misleading and the importance of critically evaluating such beliefs to avoid becoming a folk theologian.

In session number two of Theology Unplugged's "Through Theology in a Year," we delve deeper into folk theology-what it is, harder examples of it, and how to avoid becoming a folk theologian. Folk theology involves the uncritical acceptance of theological beliefs passed down through culture, family, church, or community. This time, we tackle challenging examples like the belief that angels have wings, that all people are good at heart, that all sins are equal in the sight of God, and that Jesus turned water into grape juice. Get ready to be challenged as we encourage you to examine and think critically about your own beliefs.

In this episode of "Through Theology in a Year," we delve into the differences between folk theology and tabloid theology. We'll explore how folk theology, often passed down through culture, isn't necessarily wrong but is usually uncritically evaluated. We'll discuss various examples such as the belief in guardian angels and the question of whether all sins are equal. Join us as we critically examine these common theological concepts and separate cultural inheritance from scripturally sound theology.

What Does Christianity Have to Offer in a World of Crisis and Sorrow?

Michael and Tad start talk about a blog article Michael had written about the incredible story of Joseph Scriven, writer of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."

Then Tad recounts his visits to the Credo House where he felt comfortable, even though he was an outsider.

Then Tad asks about the difference between a sermon, a homily, and the Gospel, and this is when they get into the heart of their discussion.
