Russ meets with Kyle Reynolds of the Union Gospel Mission's Service Seattle. The largest organization in the Seattle area taking on the homeless crisis as well as boots on the ground for the opiate epidemic in our city. We raise questions like, is a sprit of shallow, feel good agenda seeking part of the problem? Can we love people to the detriment of our brand? Is it a bit punk rock today to be a part of a charitable organization that is unselfishly benevolent? We get into it on this episode 37 of Punk Theology.

S01E37 Unselfishly Benevolent with Kyle Reynolds

The loud, encouragingly troublesome, rebellious, colorful artistry of what one really, actually believes. 
In a world of people addicted to some piece of certainty on "faith-based" reason. Punk Theology exists to explore some hopeful, uncomfortable questions on growth, peace, well-being, recovering what's lost, understanding the shit of "the other", faith, fear and being alive. 
An examination of the misfit's awakening spirit. So, how do we refine of what really is meaning, beauty and truth?

What if penetration really has many layered definitions? It takes us a while to get there but we delve into what it means to penetrate. Odds are this show is not what you are imagining in your dirty little minds :) Or maybe it is!

S04E15 Penetration

The spiritual or so-called spiritual deconstruction process, more often than not, it can have many feeling tribeless. Is that what Punk Theology is? A tribe for the tribeless? And isn’t this idea of the tribe listening to other tribes or how we practice empathy? Can we outside our own safety zone and hopefully see the tribal or empathetic attitudes of others?

S04E14 Tribe 4 The Tribeless?

There’s been a lot of talk lately as American and western Christian evangelicals begin the arduous, freeing yet painful process popularly known as spiritual deconstruction. Is it influenced by very public failures and Christian leadership? Or coming together and learning the deeper parts of each other stories? Either way Steve, Chuck and Russ get curious and delve into the definition of deconstruction.

S04E13 Define Deconstruct

Are religious institutions trying to sell us something when they introduce us to their Jesus? Don’t it seem like many organizations have their own brand of who Jesus is? Was Jesus a magician or a mystic? Did he work to dazzle people with miracles to gain credibility? Or was/is he a controversial spiritual philosopher spreading ideas that made religious elites fearful of their own power and influence?

S04E12 Jesus Magic

Is it the MAN vs. the savy Wall Street Bets Reddit page? The little guy coming up against the big hedge fund managers brings us to ask questions like... Is there a growing distrust of our financial institutions? Is the desire to be rich derived from a deeper need for security? And are wealthy people happier than the rest of us?
