This week, I welcome Dr. Thomas J. Oord to the podcast to discuss process philosophy, relational theology, and his defense of LGBTQ+ inclusion in Christian spaces. As someone who is comfortable identifying as an atheist and still has a lot of resentment towards her conservative Baptist upbringing, Oord's approach to theology and his emphasis on building relationships as a key feature of his ministry was a breathe of fresh aid.

Nathan Patti, who has graciously taken on the role of co-host here at Tillich Today, joins me for a new semi-weekly segment where we analyze recent events through a theological and philosophical lens. Since the Hamburger Reich shows no sign of easing up on their attempts to dismantle liberal democracy in the US and gut what little remains of government safety nets, Nathan and I should have no shortage of topics to discuss. This week we focused on Trump's dehumanizing attack on immigrants and Elon's mad dash to empty federal coffers.

Be warned that this episode gets explicit. In our defense, it is difficult to maintain composure amidst such an unbridled attack on basic American civil liberties.
