On today's episode...

Welcome back, Cross Connectors! As we kick off this new season of Cross Connections we’re extending beyond just talking about the Bible and getting into broader topics of theology and living our lives of faith. This week we’re starting off with a discussion on how we talk about God. This conversation is based off theologian Peter Rollins’ four concepts of God. You can watch his conversation with Rob Bell on The RobCast here. 

We start off by explaining why we need to talk about how we talk about God. What does it matter if not for “defending” the faith? We spend most of the episode talking about the first two concepts for God per Pete Rollins: God as Super being and God as Hyper being. Most people will recognize these two concepts, especially since God as Hyper being is the most orthodox Christian understanding of God. Next week, we jump into the other two concepts for God: God as Ground of Being and God as Event and we get into some examples for where each of these concepts appear in the Bible. Stick with us!
