This week on the Brew Theology podcast we'll continue our discussion with Dr. Sheri Kling and talk a bit about Karl Jung and our shadow side. We'll look at how our dreams can give us insight. We'll look at some techniques for doing this and how we can find meaning in them.

////

Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D. has spent a lifetime focusing on transformation, psycho-spiritual wholeness, and human flourishing. Her specialty is harnessing proven wisdom and life-giving practices to heal our suffering and separation. Weaving together inspiring themes and big ideas with her own dynamic music and creative writing, Dr. Sheri translates that wisdom into soulful experiences to help people know their own sacredness, belonging, and potential for positive change.

As an accomplished keynoter, faculty member of the Haden Institute, and director of Process & Faith for the Center for Process Studies and Claremont School of Theology, Dr. Sheri has led retreats and spoken to groups large and small on some of the biggest questions facing us. Her careers in business, the arts, and higher education have honed deep expertise that she now puts to work for the common good. You can find out more at www.sherikling.com.

Episode 208 - Tyg Tyler - Who You Walking With - Part 2 Mar 30, 2024

Tyg Taylor is the founder of Wholly Kicks. He likes to ask: What moves you to action? How do you get out of your head and take the first few steps in your walk?

These are the reflections that moved Tyg to become the founder and Executive Director for Wholly Kicks, a 501c(3) serving Aurora and the greater Denver area. In short, Tyg is about action. After over 28 years as a "more traditional" pastor, in the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Tyg turned his focus to serving those on the margin. He felt the call to get out of his head and into the streets to help those experiencing economic disparity.

Wholly Kicks is based in Aurora and serves the greater Denver area with 3 primary goals in mind:

Promoting the rights and well-being of those experiencing homelessness in everything they do.

Supporting Aurora, Colorado and the surrounding Denver Metro area.
Focus on reaching those in impoverished areas or at risk of homelessness.

Wholly Kicks exists for the purpose of “walking with” those in impoverished areas or those at risk of or, experiencing homelessness. Through the distribution of new shoes and socks, the focus of Wholly Kicks is to mentor and build relationships in “walking with” individuals experiencing economic disparity.

Episode 196 - The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence with Rev. Dr. Thomas Jay Oord Nov 30, 2023

Get ready for a fun one! In this 196th episode of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan and Janel chat with Dr. Thomas J. Oord on reasons we should stop saying "God is omnipotent." Oord suggests a new word, "Amipotence,"which combines two Latin words ami and potens. The first means “love,” and we find it in words like “amicable,” “amity,” and “amigo.” The second is the Latin word for power or influence, and we find it in “potential” and “potency.” Amipotence is pronounced, “am” (as in “Amsterdam”), with a short “i” (as in “it”), and “po-tence” (similar to “moments”). Oord coined this word to stress the priority of love over power in God. Divine love (ami) comes logically and conceptually prior to divine power (potens). Oord believes that we best understand God in general and divine power in particular if we give love pride of place. Love comes first.

///

Episode 195 (Mini) - Wholly Kicks - Santa in the Park Nov 23, 2023

On Dec 2, the Fourth Annual Wholly Kicks Santa in the Park event will give away 1000 pair of kicks! We got the pleasure of interviewing Tyg Taylor and learning more about this great event. We wanted to share this beautiful story with you as we start the holiday season. If you'd like to help out, you can donate at whollykicks.org.

Wholly Kicks is a non-profit organization whose presence in Aurora, Colorado, and the Denver Metro area, exists for the purpose of “walking with” those in impoverished areas or those at risk of or, experiencing homelessness. Through the distribution of new shoes and socks, the focus of Wholly Kicks is to mentor and build relationships in “walking with” individuals experiencing economic disparity.

///

Tyg”er” Taylor who is the Founder and Executive Director of Wholly Kicks. Tyg founded Wholly Kicks in November 2018 after a curious conversation in an alley with a man wearing a bowtie who reflected with him about what it means to walk in the shoes life has given to you…

Tyg grew up in Steamboat Springs, attended Colorado State University and Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in the Bay Area, before landing in Monument, CO for 28 years as pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church. During his time in Monument, Tyg spent many years working amongst those experiencing homelessness in Colorado Springs. Tyg’s experiences of visiting homeless camps, hanging out in the park and at low rent motels, learning the systems and culture of homelessness, creating friendships and developing leaders amongst the community of those living outdoors and on the street, led to the vision of moving to North Aurora to work as a street pastor along Colfax, working with other non-profits, and the development of Wholly Kicks. Wholly Kicks asks the question: Who You Walking With?

Tyg loves spending time on the street in North Aurora and East Denver, meeting new faces and kindling relationships with those whom he has met over the years. Tyg’s greatest joy of leading Wholly Kicks is creating leaders right from those experiencing homelessness, to run new shoe events! Tyg sees his life as a mission to Walk With Others: using his heart, his experience and relationships, his truck and resources, his boldness and trust, his limitations and possibilities, to live a life that serves and loves others.

Episode 194 - Engaged Buddhism via Thich Nhat Hanh with Dr. Lisa Pettitt Nov 16, 2023

Get ready for some Zen! Janel and Ryan chat with Dr. Lisa Pettitt on this timely episode channeling the late Thich Nhat Hanh's Engaged Buddhism on the 194th BT pod! Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. He founded the ENGAGED BUDDHISM movement including the School of Youth and Social Service, a grassroots relief organization of 10,000 volunteers based on the Buddhist principles of non-violence and compassionate action.

“In engaged action, you don’t have to die to get your message across. We have to remember that even if our protest is very strong, protesting may not be able to remove the fear, the anger, and the craving in those we are protesting against. Real protest is to help them wake up and take up a new direction. To do that is real action. We can do it by setting an example. You create a community of peace and true solidarity. You consume in a way that protects the planet. You speak and listen in a way that transforms anger and division. You live simply and yet you are happy. This is a radical way of peace making. You embody good health for yourself and for the world and live in such a way that proves a future can be possible.”

///

Dr. Lisa Pettitt - Dr. Pettitt has a BA in Psychology with a Theology minor from the College of St. Benedict and a PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Denver. Dr. Pettitt was ordained in Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing in 2011. She is a feminist who has learned about disability and self-advocacy from her sister with Down Syndrome and anti-racism and intersectionality from wise and generous women and men of color. Lisa teaches yoga, volunteers with high school students around topics of environmental activism and positive youth development, and spends time in contemplation and deep listening.

Episode 193 - MLK: Interfaith Hero with Rev. Dr. Josh Ritter & Sharyl West Loeung Nov 08, 2023

On the 193rd episode of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan and Janel chat with Rev. Dr. Josh Ritter and Rev. Sharyl West Loeung about MLK and his Interfaith world. As we honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an ordained baptist minister, and pastor, we remember his work as a civic interfaith leader who collaborated with many from other traditions and faiths such as Dorothy Day, Thich Nhat Hanh, Rabbi Abraham Heschel, Paul Tillich, and Gandhi. Many know Dr. King as the head of the civil rights movement, but fewer know of his significant interfaith friendships and influences that shaped him into the leader that he came to be. Dr. King also championed the practice of nonviolence and nonviolent communication, which he also learned from his interfaith connections.

Josh focuses on civic interfaith leadership and religious communication in the public sphere, and his real passion is the practice of engaged contemplative spirituality and reframing the ways we approach religion, justice, communication, and the spiritual imagination. His most recent publication is his co-authored book, Following the Way of Wisdom Jesus, that focuses on communication as a mindfulness practice of generosity.

Sharyl West Loeung is a TEDx speaker, author, consultant, event producer, and social entrepreneur who facilitates spaces of belonging where connection, collaboration, and creativity can flourish. She is co-founder of Kardia House Consulting, a consulting group that seeks to reframe the world through our words, stories, and conversations.

Worship: Matrix and Human Experience – Why liturgy and the Word matter more than God as an object of worship with Rev. Dr. Leslie King*

"It's the question that drives us, Neo. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did" – Trinity (The Matrix)

Ryan and Janel sit down and chat with Leslie as she speaks of caution when it comes to worship.

Episode 190 - Liberation Theology, Drugs, and the Americas with Dr. Bill Walker - Part 2 Oct 18, 2023

We are back for part 2: Theology revolving around the Drug War: Globalization, Violence, and Salvation with Bill Walker III!

Based on Dr. Bill Walker's book, “A Theology of the Drug War” (2019), this 2 part podcast is a political and theological reflection on the violence and injustice that has taken place in Mexico and Central America since 2006 as a result of the drug war. In order to understand and respond to this conflict in the age of globalization, Dr. Walker presents a theology of the drug war that transcends both a Eurocentric conception of the world and a merely political account of salvation.

So, get ready! Grab a drink, bust out those earbuds, & get situated, friends!

Bill Walker currently serves as the Director of Hill House, a Christian Study Center in Austin. Dr. Walker is a lecturer in theology and ethics at Baylor University and Truett Theological Seminary. He received his PhD in philosophy of religion and theology from Claremont Graduate University and his MDiv from Truett Seminary. His research interests include political theology, economic ethics, and postcolonial studies.

Episode 188 - ”Creating Spaces for Belonging” with Sharyl West Loeung Oct 04, 2023

Pull out your earbuds, and get ready for some much needed community talk! Ryan and Janel have a chat with Sharyl West Loeung on the 188th episode of the Brew Theology Podcast!

We will explore the complexity of finding places of belonging amid and after a global pandemic, and if we are honest with ourselves, even before the spread of Covid-19. Can we reimagine our traditions to create spaces for belonging, where our tables are a place for gathering as our truest selves?

Sharyl West Loeung, M.Div, has spent most of her career in K-12 and higher education helping students discover what it means to belong in our diverse world. Her passion for intercultural, intergenerational, and interfaith friendships has guided her career as a DEI educator. She is the co-founder of Kardia House Consulting, which teaches generous communication as a means to resist polarization and move toward organizational health and relational wholeness. She also hosts events such as the upcoming Belief and Belonging Festival. Sharyl is married and has lived in Waco, Texas with her two sons and a hoard of cats for 16 years. Her love language is article-sending and her happy place is a lunch date with a friend, no clock, sans Covid.

Episode 187 - Parliament of the World’s Religions - Ryan and Janel Sep 26, 2023

This August Janel and Ryan attended The Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago, IL. It was a great time of seeing how the world practices a wide variety of religious experiences. Set on the shores of Lake Michigan, it was a time of learning, reflection, and experience.
The Parliament of the World's Religions describes itself as the world’s premier interfaith convening of civic, spiritual and grassroots changemakers. It is an international nonprofit, non-governmental organization affiliated with the United Nations Department of Public Information.

Its origins are rooted in the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where the first convening of the World Parliament of Religions created a global platform for east-west religious engagement.

In total, over 7,000 people attended the parliament, representing 212 spiritual traditions and 95 countries.

Episode 186 - The Rise of Torah - Live Event with Dr. Mark George and Dr. Pam Eisenbaum - Part 2 Sep 14, 2023

The BREW THEOLOGY Force Awakens (Part 2). May The 4th Be With You… get ready for this special Live Podcast event!

Featuring
The George Strikes Back!
Attack of the Eisenbaum!
& Return of the Ry-Guy to the Mile High!

This is The Way to a galactic podcast packed with hyperspace theology, laser sharp theologians, rebellious questions, dark-sided brews, and party favors - unofficially - endorsed by Ewoks (Laugh if up, fuzzball! Cuz we partied, Endor-style!)

The force is strong with these two star theologians, Mark & Pam.

A long time ago in the Ancient Near East far, far away… There was the Rise of The Torah!

We all know words carry weight like holding a lightsaber! Writing was a pretty new technology for the writers of Deuteronomy (5th book in the Jewish Torah), something they used for purposes beyond royal bureaucratic purposes. What’s interesting about this technology, among other things, is that individuals and communities came to use it as authoritative, that is, as something to be consulted because it served as a normative guide for community action, understanding, and thus life. For oral cultures in the ancient near east, the shift to using writing this way was huge. And it provides a point of comparison with our current digital revolution, as digital devices, apps, and other technologies invade and structure our lives.

It’s time to unlearn what you have learned like a good a padawan. We’ll unpack the emergence of new technology, then and now, as we seek to better get a handle on how we think about the Bible and authoritative texts moving forward. It’s your destiny to listen! Do. Or do not. There is no try!

Get ready for Part 2! (Part 1 is with Mark, & Part 2 is with Pam)

Mark K. George is Professor of Bible and Ancient Systems of Thought and Director of the University of Denver/Iliff School of Theology Joint PhD Program in the Study of Religion. He works primarily with the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and, within that corpus, the Pentateuch and narrative texts. The focus of his work is ancient systems of thought operating within this literature and the societies that produced it, whether they be social systems and structures expressed through the practices and conceptions of space, or how they make possible specific ways for individuals and communities to conduct their lives. George teaches courses on the Bible. These include critical studies of specific books, such as Deuteronomy, and examinations of larger issues, such as The Bible and Contemporary Issues or The Bible in the Digital Age. Fundamental to his teaching is the conviction that each generation must find new ways to make the Bible relevant for themselves. This is especially important as we live through the current digital revolution. His publications include books, encyclopedia entries, scholarly articles, and occasional pieces in publications including The Conversation. His current book project, Conduct Becoming Israel: Deuteronomy’s Subject and the Creation of “Israel,” is an analysis of how Deuteronomy presents an idealized system for becoming Israel.
A member of both the Society of Biblical Literature and American Academy of Religion, George regularly presents his work in the US and internationally.

Episode 184 - The Truth About the Truth with Kerri Fisher - Part 2 May 17, 2023

Let's continue to brew... “The Truth about The Truth" with Kerri Fisher! (part 2)

We are inundated with messages that beg us to embrace the world in black-and-white but the myths of "common sense" and "one-right-way" are tools of supremacy seeking to limit imagination and thus liberation not only for those of us who are marginalized but for those who bear the burden of being the witness, accomplice, or perpetrator of violence in the world. Many of us are on the path to embody more non-binary, diunital, both/and/and ways of being human, but how do we practically embrace truth in the various dimensions, tensions, and contradictions where it lives without losing our identities--without altogether losing our way?

Get ready for some brewtastic goodness as Janel & Ryan sit down with the Kerri Fisher for part 2! The force is strong with this one...

Episode 182 - Dr. Candi Cann - Death and Grief - Part 2 Mar 05, 2023

Spoiler Alert: We are all going to die! (and Janel apologizes up front for saying milieu wrong.)

So, let's brew theology with the Death Scholar!

Grief theory until now is largely the product of the Protestant (and white) experience, and often emphasizes the Remembering of the Dead, rather than the Care of the dead, stressing the importance of grief “work” and grief “tasks” while working to a goal of reintegration without the deceased. There are some lingering problems with contemporary grief theory... Relationships with the dead are not static ones, but changing and valuable ones that will continue to develop as we move through life. Join Ryan and Janel as they get to chat it up with Dr. Candi Cann as she speaks about the importance of reframing death and a healthier posture of grief that comes with it... (Part 1) You can now order Dr. Cann's new book, Death and Religion: The Basics on Amazon (or wherever you like to buy books!)

///

Dr. Candi K. Cann, Associate Professor of Religion in the BIC, teaches at Baylor University in both the BIC and the Religion department. She received both her A.M. and Ph.D. in Comparative Religion from Harvard University, an M.A. in Asian Religions from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, and a B.A. in Asian Studies and English from St. Andrews in North Carolina. At Baylor, she teaches courses in World Cultures, Social World, World Religions, Buddhism, and Death and Dying.

Dr. Cann's research focuses on death and dying, and the impact of remembering (and forgetting) in shaping how lives are recalled, remembered and celebrated. She examined this theme through martyrdom in her early scholarship. Dr. Cann's first book, Virtual Afterlives: Grieving the Dead in the Twenty-first Century with the University Press of Kentucky (2014), centered on grief and memorialization in the contemporary world. She has also written various chapters and articles on digital death and grief. Her second book Dying to Eat: Cross Cultural Perspectives on Food, Death and the Afterlife (also with University Press of Kentucky, 2017) is an edited collection on the intersection of food in death and grief. Her third book, The Routledge Handbook of Death and Afterlife(Routledge, 2018), is an edited collection containing thirty chapters examining death and afterlife from around the world.

Dr. Cann has also written lots of articles and book chapters, including her article titled “African American Deathways" in Oxford Bibliographies in African American Studies. (Oxford University Press, 2020), and her co-written piece on COVID, "Death, Grief, and Funerals in the COVID age (www.covidpaper.org) utilized by Option B, National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, Presidential Taskforce on Grief & Loss, and the New York State Psychological Association, among many others. Dr. Cann's current projects are researching diversity in death, and the intersection of death and technology around the world.

Episode 177 - Sports and Religion Aug 20, 2022

Today we're talking Sports and Religion. Now, before all you non-sports fans tune out, I beg you to give it a chance. In researching this topic we found some deep connections between sports and religion.

So please listen up as we talk Super Bowl and Olympics, New Testament and Old, and get a better understanding of where sports competitions came from and what those competitions meant to the various gods that demanded their participation.

I promise you'll be surprised and probably learn something new!

Dr. Robert N. Nash Jr. serves as the associate dean for the Doctor of Ministry program and is the Arnall-Mann-Thomasson Professor of Missions and World Religions at McAfee School of Theology. He received his Ph.D. degree in Church History (1989) and his M.Div. degree (1985) from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition, he completed both his M.A. (History) and B.A. degrees at Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville. Prior to coming to McAfee, Dr. Nash served as global missions coordinator at the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (2006-2012) and as a professor in the religion departments at both Shorter College in Rome, Georgia (1994-2006) and at Judson College in Marion, Alabama (1992-1994). He also served as dean of the School of Religion and International Studies at Shorter College for several years.

An author of three books and numerous articles, Dr. Nash has devoted his research and writing to the intersection between religious faith and culture, paying particular attention to what happens to religions as they move from one cultural context to another. This research interest eventually led him to move from the classroom to the laboratory as he directed the global mission engagement of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, assisting that organization to adapt its global engagement to the unique challenges of the 21st century. He has now taken the experience he received there back to the classroom to assist ministers as they negotiate similar challenges in local congregations.

He has served as pastor and interim pastor of a number of congregations in Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia and as a frequent lecturer on college and university campuses and at conferences across the nation that focus on ministry and mission in the 21st century.

Dr. Nash is married to Guyeth Nash, a psychotherapist, and they have two grown children, Douglas and Lindsay. He is an avid viewer of food and travel programs on television and enjoys grilling and eating his way through every Asian restaurant in Atlanta. He runs about 12-15 miles a week to keep off the pounds generated by his food interests. The Nashes have a dog named Nemo and two cats, Mama Kitty and Agamemnon.

* With civil rights advocacy in his DNA, Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III built his ministry on community advancement and social justice activism. As Senior Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Ill., Dr. Moss spent the last two decades practicing and preaching a Black theology that unapologetically calls attention to the problems of mass incarceration, environmental justice and economic inequality.

Dr. Moss is part of a new generation of ministers committed to preaching a prophetic message of love and justice, which he believes are inseparable companions that form the foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As part of his community engagement through Trinity United Church of Christ, Dr. Moss led the team that came up with the “My Life Matters” curriculum; which includes the viral video “Get Home Safely: 10 Rules of Survival,” created in the aftermath of Michael Brown’s death at the hands of Ferguson, Mo., police.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. Moss is an honors graduate of Morehouse College who earned a Master of Divinity form Yale Divinity School, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Chicago Theological Seminary. He returned to Yale in 2014 to present the famed Lyman Beecher lectures. The three-day event included an in-depth discourse on the subject of “The Blue Note Gospel: Preaching the Prophetic Blues in a Post Soul World.” The lectures, which demonstrated a homiletic blueprint for prophetic preaching in the 21st century, were the foundation of his latest book, Blue Note Preaching in a Post-Soul World: Finding Hope in an Age of Despair, published in 2015.

Dr. Moss was named to the inaugural Root 100, a list that “recognizes emerging and established African-American leaders who are making extraordinary contributions,” according to the publication’s Website. Honorees range between ages 25 to 45, and their accomplishments and successes transcend media headlines or statistics.

With a unique gift to communicate across generations, Dr. Moss’ creative biblebased messages have inspired young and old alike. His intergenerational preaching gift has made Dr. Moss a popular speaker on college campuses, at conferences, and churches across the globe. He is highly influenced by the works of Zora Neale Hurston, August Wilson, Howard Thurman, Jazz, and Hip- Hop music. The work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the pastoral ministry of his father, Dr. Otis Moss, Jr. of Cleveland, Ohio, have been primary mentors for his spiritual formation.

He is the former pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta, Ga., his first pastorate, where the church grew from 125 members to over 2100 disciples during his tenure. His earlier publications include: Redemption in a Red Light District, and The Gospel According to the Wiz: And Other Sermons from Cinema. He coauthored The Gospel Re-Mix; How to Reach the Hip-Hop Generation with three other contributors, and Preach! The Power and Purpose Behind Our Praise, with his father.

His sermons, articles, and poetry have appeared in publications such as Sojourners Magazine and The African American Pulpit Journal. Those works include: Power in the Pulpit II: America’s Most Effective Preachers, Joy To The World: Sermons From America’s Pulpit, Sound The Trumpet: Messages of Hope for Black Men, and The Audacity of Faith: Christian Leaders Reflect on the Election of Barack Obama. His work has also been featured on HuffingtonPost, Urban Cusp, and The Root.

Dr. Moss is an ordained minister in the Progressive National Baptist Convention and the United Church of Christ. He is on the boards of Auburn Seminary and Faith-In-Place/Action Fund , and chaplain of the Children’s Defense Fund’s Samuel DeWitt Proctor Child Advocacy Conference. Additionally, Dr. Moss is a Senior Fellow in the Auburn Seniors Fellow Program.

He is married to his college sweetheart, the former Monica Brown of Orlando, Fla., a Spelman College and Columbia University graduate. They are the proud parents of two children, Elijah Wynton and Makayla Elon.

Episode 174 - Deconstruction Feb 26, 2022

Today we're talking about the big "D" - Deconstruction. A pretty loaded word at the moment, we're talking about faith, growth, falling apart, and moving on when faith changes. Listen to Ryan and Janel share their own evolving stories, and learn about this every changing process. Not for the faint at heart, deconstruction is hard work and we're here to walk with you.

We mentioned a few things in the Podcast that we want to highlight here. Faith Shift by Kathy Escobar has been a really helpful book for Janel. Ryan was influenced by Rob Bell and Brian McLaren, in particular A Generous Orthodoxy.

We also wanted to highlight TikTok star Piper Ramsey-Sumner @cbfplr and recommend @AbrahamPiper and @JoLuehmann. You might also check out @eve_wasframed on Instagram.
Please reach out if you have specific Deconstruction questions or topics you'd like to cover.

Episode 172 - Rev. Dr. Eric Smith - Immigration - Part 2 Feb 16, 2021

Part 2 with Eric Smith.

Immigration is as old as the story of America. Who belongs and who can come is an ongoing debate. (While we must also acknowledge that this episode was recorded on the land of the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Ute tribes.)

Everyone knows the old saying that when you mix politics and religion, things get messy. But we also all know that more often than not, politics and religion have gotten mixed together, and that sometimes they are indistinguishable. Listen in on our conversation with guest speaker, Dr. Eric Smith, who talks with us about the Bible’s relationship to one debate that is as fierce today as it was 2000 or 3000 year ago: the debate over who should be allowed to be a part of a society.
How can the Bible help us think through our own questions about the power of the state and our obligations to our neighbors? Listen in as we brew some relevant theology and dedicate time to helping us plumb the biblical tradition for ways to think about these contentious political—and religious—questions.

///
*Rev. Dr. Eric C. Smith is an assistant professor at the Iliff School of Theology, where he teaches New Testament and early Christianity. He is also Teaching Minister at First Plymouth Congregational Church in Englewood. He is the author of the three books, most recently Paul the Progressive? The Compassionate Christian’s Guide to Reclaiming the Apostle as an Ally, which is newly released from Chalice Press.

Episode 170: Mass Incarceration with Dr. Mike Campbell - Part 2 Jan 28, 2021

Get ready to brew theology with Dr. Mike Campbell* on episode 170 (part 2 of 2). The United States incarcerates a larger proportion of its population than any other nation and those imprisoned are disproportionately poor and people of color. Mass incarceration, as scholars have dubbed America’s imprisonment binge, has become a normalized fact of life over the last thirty years as corrections budgets have soared and incarceration has become a normalized element of life for people from the nation's poorest neighborhoods. Yet, some people have started to rethink this approach and some states have made significant reductions in their prison populations. This talk will provide some historical context on mass incarceration and will outline some of the promise and peril of current efforts to change America's peculiarly punitive approach to crime.

*Michael Campbell is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at the University of Denver. His research employs mixed research methods to examine the social, historical and political forces that shape law and policy, especially those associated with mass incarceration. His work has been published in the American Journal of Sociology, Law and Society Review, Criminology and other sociological and criminological journals. His current research includes a collaborative project (with Heather Schoenfeld of Boston University) that examines state-level criminal justice reforms that affect correctional populations and mass incarceration. The goal is to compare and contrast reforms across state contexts since 2000 to better understand how state and national forces have shaped policy reform efforts in the United States.

Episode164: "Letting Go" Oct 15, 2020

Let Go... The concept of non-attachment can be traced in and through Daoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and other Asian Philosophies. Within the Buddhist tradition, we find Four Noble Truths. The first, roughly translated, is the truth of suffering, and the second is the truth of the origin of suffering. That origin, according to The Buddha, is craving, or misplaced desire (Tanhā). Though the Pali words differ, they are conceptually related. Clinging and craving cause us suffering.
So, what does letting go, in this context (we recorded this on Fat Tuesday BTW!), look like in everyday life? Let's Brew Theology, Episode 164 with Dan, Elizabeth, Janel and Ryan.

His latest book Against: What Does the White Evangelical Want? explores trends and underlying desires of the most quintessentially American faith—a theological improvisation around whiteness.

Episode 161: The Four Facets of Kindness Sep 21, 2020

You know what the world needs more of these days?

That's right... Kindness! Kindness is a spacious place. Kindness is an openness to learning new things, seeing things from a new perspective and being willing to change our minds about things of which we thought we were sure. Only through kindness can a heart be healed and made wide enough to expand into this great big world. As we sit down together over some craft beer, we will take time to look at the 4 facets of kindness and how we live those out... Join Ryan, Janel, Rob & Richmond.

We had some strange sound issues (we later realized it was an old chord on Ryan's mic) here and there on this episode, but it's still worth of your time...

Episode 160: Is The Bible Pro-Slavery, Anti-Women & Anti-Gay with Dr. Craig Blomberg - Part 2 Sep 14, 2020

Let's get down to hermeneutics alongside some relevant 21st C. issues. Cheers to Episode 160, Part 2... Dr. Blomberg, joined the Denver community on Zoom a few months ago, and it's a great presentation and conversion about the Bible, evangelicalism and relevant issues at hand!

People regularly give certain reasons for not believing in God, but they are much less aware of what the New Testament actually teaches. Although challenges to Christianity are perennial and have frequently been addressed, they are noticeably more common today and are currently of particular interest among evangelicals.

Craig is back as he tackles questions from his upcoming book, "Can We Still Believe in God?: Answering Ten Contemporary Challenges to Christianity."
Skeptics of Christianity often ask highly regarded biblical scholar and popular speaker, Craig Blomberg, how he can believe in a faith that seems so problematic. This Distinguished New Testament professor will tackle the question(s), "Isn't the Bible anti-women, anti-gay, and pro-slavery?"

Episode 158 - Dr. Pam Eisenbaum - Antisemitism, Racism, and Xenophobia - Part 2 Aug 01, 2020

Listen in on our Zoom conversation with Pam Eisenbaum. Part 2 contains our question and answer session with the Denver Brew Theology crew.
________
Although these contemporary issues challenging our world today seem far removed from the world of the Bible, there are many today who read the Bible—or at least revere it as a source of authority—with the belief that it offers them guidance on how they live their lives. Most Bible readers do not read Greek and Hebrew and thus depend upon scholars and preachers who do the work of translation and interpretation. Unfortunately, much of the Bible in translation perpetuates stereotypes that contribute to the plagues of Anti-Semitism, Racism, and Xenophobia, and in many cases, contemporary translations make them worse. Moreover, long-held destructive traditions of interpretation accompany the minds of unwitting readers or reciters of favorite scriptural passages.

In this podcast we will consider a few illustrative examples of misread, mistranslated, misused, and misunderstood snippets from the Bible—little phrases and sentences that have had enormously bad effects, even though, in most cases, such effects were not inevitable. But, before we look at texts, I first want us to look at a few recent incidents. I hope not only to show ways in which the Bible—at least certain texts—inform and inflame hatred, but I also want to show the ways in which Anti-Semitism and racism—particularly anti-Black racism are linked. They are not merely two examples of negative stereotyping or bias against marginalized groups; the two are often linked in ways that need explaining.

Episode 156: Visions of Self in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism with Rev. Diana Thompson (Part 2) May 28, 2020

Part 2... The convo continues with Diana, starting with "feelings!" Yup. She’s a bad ass Buddhist Reverend from the Tri-State Denver Buddhist Temple; you definitely don’t wanna miss episode 156 (Part 2 of 2 on "Visions of Self in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism"), friends!

Self: 1: the essential person distinct from all other persons in identity 2: a particular side of a person’s character (Merriam-Webster)

Self: 1. A person’s essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action. (Oxford online dictionary)

These are definitions of the ‘self’ as it is understood in the English language. Both imply a unique, individual ‘something’ that makes us who we are. By using the word ‘essential’ these definitions also seem to imply that there is some permanence to this self, an absolute core at the center of our being that goes unchanged. This unique individual is one who stands out and apart from others, the ‘self-made’, ‘self-taught’ person who ‘rides alone’. (I’m a loner, Dottie. A rebel.’) This narrative of the independent, self-made person has shaped the ways in which we view the ‘self’ both in positive and negative ways. On the positive side, it encourages us to veer away from a ‘sheep’ mentality and to think for ourselves. On the negative side, it produces a culture in which people are shamed for seeking outside help and causes them to shy away from even simple acknowledgment and gratitude to those who do or are willing to help.

For Buddhists, this human desire for a permanent, independent self, is the cause of much of our suffering. We experience anxiety when we feel that we that we don’t know who we are and so we will set out on journeys of self-discovery in order to find that essential something that is ‘myself’ apart from others and we experience extra anxiety if we cannot find it. This is not to say that Buddhists would discourage the journey. The questioning or examination of the self is not the problem. The problem is our greed (desire for permanence), anger (frustration when we can’t find it) and stupidity (our stubborn refusal to accept impermanence and interdependence). We are all suffering from G.A.S.

Time to get GAS(y), friends.

At the University of Georgia, he held dual appointments in Religion and African American Studies, teaching courses in New Testament studies and African American biblical interpretation.

*Dr. Robert N. Nash Jr. serves as the associate dean for the Doctor of Ministry program and is the Arnall-Mann-Thomasson Professor of Missions and World Religions at McAfee School of Theology. He received his Ph.D. degree in Church History (1989) and his M.Div. degree (1985) from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition, he completed both his M.A. (History) and B.A. degrees at Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville. Prior to coming to McAfee, Dr. Nash served as global missions coordinator at the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (2006-2012) and as a professor in the religion departments at both Shorter College in Rome, Georgia (1994-2006) and at Judson College in Marion, Alabama (1992-1994). He also served as dean of the School of Religion and International Studies at Shorter College for several years.

An author of three books and numerous articles, Dr. Nash has devoted his research and writing to the intersection between religious faith and culture, paying particular attention to what happens to religions as they move from one cultural context to another. This research interest eventually led him to move from the classroom to the laboratory as he directed the global mission engagement of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, assisting that organization to adapt its global engagement to the unique challenges of the 21st century. He has now taken the experience he received there back to the classroom to assist ministers as they negotiate similar challenges in local congregations.

He has served as pastor and interim pastor of a number of congregations in Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia and as a frequent lecturer on college and university campuses and at conferences across the nation that focus on ministry and mission in the 21st century.

Dr. Nash is married to Guyeth Nash, a psychotherapist, and they have two grown children, Douglas and Lindsay. He is an avid viewer of food and travel programs on television and enjoys grilling and eating his way through every Asian restaurant in Atlanta. He runs about 12-15 miles a week to keep off the pounds generated by his food interests. The Nashes have a dog named Nemo and two cats, Mama Kitty and Agamemnon.

Episode 149: Agnostic Awakening Feb 10, 2020

What do you do when you lose your faith? When your questions lead to more questions? What do you do when the temptation to belong outways your pull toward the unknown?
Up until this point, Agnosticism has been a throw away term to define someone who is lost. Someone who is in between. Someone that is waiting to embrace their next certainty. I would like to ask the question, what if Agnosticism is the future of religion? Could our desperate desire for certainty be what is stopping us from truly embracing the divine and letting the spirit move like a winding river through our lives? Will you join us on episode 149 of the Brew Theology Podcast with Ryan, Janel, Sawyer and Josh, as they bring these questions to your curious earbuds? Maybe in that space, and in your own communal spaces, we can find what we are looking for...

P.S. Thanks to Joshua Hoague from Denver for providing the content for this conversation.

It can help us and harm us.
Were the hermits right all along?
Everything from monks and beer to communal B.O., from transitional spaces to pastors who shouldn't be pastors... cheers to our eclectic, interfaith community of communities!

Episode 143: Centering Prayer with Eric Peter - Part 2 Dec 17, 2019

On episode 143 of the Brew Theology podcast, Janel Apps Ramsey, Ryan Miller and Mark Donato continue the conversation with Eric Peter on Centering Prayer (Part 1) and more... This tradition was handed on by the Hesychasts of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, in particular by the sixth-century Syrian monk known as Pseudo-Dionysius; Meister Eckhardt, John Ruysbroeck, and the Rhineland mystics in the Middle ages; the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing in the fourteenth century; later by the Carmelite tradition exemplified by Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux, and Elizabeth of the Trinity; and in the last century by Thomas Merton. Although traditionally a Christian prayer practice, Centering Prayer welcomes all interested in developing or strengthening their relationship with God. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather it casts a new light and depth of meaning to them. It is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship.

Eric Peter has been studying and practicing a wide range of meditation techniques for almost 20 years. He has been a part of Contemplative Outreach for 15 years and has served as a facilitator of Centering Prayer, a volunteer in the Prison Ministry Program and as a presenter of Introductory Workshops. He has been a Benedictine Oblate since 2014 and makes his living as a bee keeper

Episode 138: Personal (Historical) Jesus Sep 10, 2019

Rabbi? Essene? Zealot? Was Jesus an apocalyptic prophet, charismatic healer, cynic philosopher or a prophet of social change? What did his followers mean by “Messiah?” Did the “The Son of Man” fail? Did his followers conjure up an epic story that changed the world? There have been countless debates regarding this 1st Century Jewish sage. The quest for the historical Jesus has been a rigorous academic pursuit since the 18th Century; the list of questions and brewtastic rabbit trails go on… and so will this zesty conversation on episode 138 of the Brew Theology Podcast!

Episode 137: Reforming Western Stereotypes of Buddhism with Kaitlyn Masher-Mace (Part 2) Sep 02, 2019

In episode 137 (part 2 of 2) Ryan, Janel and Elizabeth continue their convo with guest, *Kaitlyn Mascher-Mace on "Reforming Western Stereotypes of Buddhism: A Look at Violence in the Buddhist World."

The generalized narrative towards Buddhism(s) in the west have often divorced cultural history from the teachings. What is left is an idealized form of Buddhism, often without context, devoid of the causes and conditions which shaped the teachings that are part of the Buddhist world today. However, explicit and implicit violence have always been part of the Buddhist experience. This conversation will be a brief introduction to these realities.

*Kaitlyn got lost on her way to the oilfield, or maybe she found herself (so her wife says). A 2006 graduate of the Colorado School of Mines (BSc - Mechanical Engineering), Kaitlyn spent many years in oilfields across the world working in rock mechanics and fracture theory. While the rocks had much to say, her coworkers often had views on the world that were varied and far different from hers, driving her to learn more about people, and how faith affects their lives.
Kaitlyn is currently a Ministers Assistant at the Tri-State Denver Buddhist Temple and is a Jodo Shinshu Buddhism seminary student, working on a Masters of Buddhist Studies from the Institute of Buddhist Studies in Berkeley, California. She also starts the Masters of Divinity Program at Iliff School of Theology in the Fall. When she is not in school, she is a 911 Ambulance Paramedic (a different study on human nature) in Weld County, Colorado. She is also an athlete, and a member of the 2013, 2014, and 2015 National Champion Denver Bulldogs Australian Rules Football Team, as well as a former Team USA member.

Episode 127: Gnosticism with Rev. Mark Donato - Part 2 Jun 05, 2019

Get excited for round 2 with Rev. Brother Mark Donato on episode 127 (part 2).

Gnosticism is the teaching based on Gnosis, the knowledge of transcendence arrived at by way of interior, intuitive means. Although Gnosticism thus rests on personal religious experience, it is a mistake to assume all such experience results in Gnostic recognitions. It is nearer the truth to say that Gnosticism expresses a specific religious experience, an experience that does not lend itself to the language of theology or philosophy, but which is instead closely affinitized to, and expresses itself through, the medium of myth. Indeed, one finds that most Gnostic scriptures take the forms of myths. The term “myth” should not here be taken to mean “stories that are not true”, but rather, that the truths embodied in these myths are of a different order from the dogmas of theology or the statements of philosophy.
--Excerpt from “The Gnostic Worldview: A Brief Summary of Gnosticism” by +Dr. Stephan Hoeller

*Rev. Donato is the prior (administrator and mentor) of the Oblates (lay monks) of the Order of Saint John, the monastic side of the Apostolic Johannite Church. He left the Episcopal Church he grew up in for Buddhism, first Tibetan and later Thai Theravada, for 20 years. Although Buddhism still informs much of Mark’s theology and practice, he moved toward his Christian roots and found Gnosticism. For the past 8 years, Mark has been studying and practicing Gnostic Christianity and was ordained as prior of religious orders in 2016.

Episode 125: Deep Ecumenism with Rabbi Stephen Booth-Nadav - Part 2 May 16, 2019

Tune in for some more Deep Ecumenism with Rabbi Stephen Booth Nadav in this 2-part Brew Theology Podcast. Deep Ecumenism, a term coined by Fr. Matthew Fox and carried forward by his friend Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (z’l), is so much more than “interfaith dialogue.” “Dialogue” is good and nice, and perhaps so much safer than deep engagement or encounter with another faith path. But today we are called to more than just tolerance or positive relationship or even understanding. We are called to stretch to the possible experience of the Divine even in other faith traditions. When we can do that, we will know we have touched the Source.

This is the 2nd time for Rabbi Steve to join the BT community. He was with us back in 2016 (episodes 17 & 18 of the Brew Theology Podcasts), and we look forward to having him again...

Here's Part 2! Dr. Mark George, professor of Bible & Ancient Systems of Thought at Iliff School of Theology is back for a two part episode, and he's brewin’ up the relevant topic, “Digital Bibles”...

Bibles in digital formats—mobile Bible apps, websites, computer programs, and the like—are becoming more and more common. Convenience and ease of access to the Bible are, without question, benefits of the digitization of the Bible. Yet the change of medium for the Bible, from print to digital, is worth some critical consideration in order to gain some perspective on what is going on here. Digital Bibles are changing the ways people read, encounter, interpret, and understand the Bible. Is it a whole new Word or is it the end of the Word as we know it? Let’s brew...

Episode 114: Judaism 101 with Dr. Pam Eisenbaum - Part 3 Feb 08, 2019

Here's the finale: Part 3 with Dr. Eisenbaum on Judaism 101 (Part 2)... Ryan, Janel & Heather keep asking questions in Episode 114 of the Brew Theology Podcast (Part 2 of a 3 part podcast series).

Christians and Jews share a large portion of scripture in common, and most everyone knows someone who is Jewish, but what do you really know about Judaism? (The “you” here is intended for Christians, but potentially includes anyone—including Jews who may not be religiously active.) Judaism is rooted in the Hebrew Bible, but it is so much more. Come for a whirl wind tour of post-biblical Jewish history, and a quick lesson on the essential elements that define Judaism. Learn how Judaism distinguishes itself from Christianity (it’s about much more than Jews' and Christians' divergent views about Jesus). Grab a drink and get ready for a good time!

(The “you” here is intended for Christians, but potentially includes anyone—including Jews who may not be religiously active.) Judaism is rooted in the Hebrew Bible, but it is so much more. Come for a whirl wind tour of post-biblical Jewish history, and a quick lesson on the essential elements that define Judaism. Learn how Judaism distinguishes itself from Christianity (it’s about much more than Jews' and Christians' divergent views about Jesus). Grab a drink and get ready for a good time!

Next, Brew Theology presents, “ALEtruist" on Saturday, May 4 (10:30AM - 3:30AM. ALEtruist is an Interfaith Community event with a Cause over Craft beer! We'll have religious leaders form the world's prominent 6 religions... More info and tix, HERE!

Episode 95: The Spirit of Hinduism & the Hindu Perspective on Human Rights with Prof. Ved P. Nanda Aug 29, 2018

The modern idea of Human Rights has indeed transformed the world and it seems appropriate and necessary to appreciate that the Hindu literature at least 5,000 – 7,000 years ago embodied that idea. We have the great honor to deliver these brewtastic audio goods as *Ved P. Nanda joins the 95th Brew Theology Podcast! We begin by hearing Ved's amazing life-story, then move onto aspects of Hinduism, weed out some misconceptions, dive into human rights, and even tackle sexuality and the Karma Sutra, etc.!

Episode 93: "On The Mystery" with Dr. Catherine Keller - Part 2 Aug 06, 2018

Who's ready for Part 2 with Dr. Catherine Keller? Keller is Professor of Constructive Theology at the Theological School and Graduate School at Drew University, joins Brew Theology for a LIVE pub conversation in New Jersey regarding her book, "On the Mystery: Discerning Divinity in Process." Nate Nakao and Luke Grote from Jersey Brew Theology host this 93rd episode of the Brew Theology Podcast (Part 2 of 2). Here's a desciption of her book, below (although, the questions at the pub go in many directions in this multi-podcast event.).

"With immediate impact and deep creativity, Catherine Keller offers this brief and unconventional introduction to theological thinking, especially as recast by process thought. Keller takes up theology itself as a quest for religious authenticity. Through a marvelous combination of brilliant writing, story, reflection, and unabashed questioning of old shibboleths, Keller redeems theology from its dry and predictable categories to reveal what has always been at the heart of the theological enterprise: a personal search for intellectually honest and credible ways of making sense of the loving mystery that encompasses even our confounding times."

Episode 89: Homelessness with Terese Howard and Benjamin Dunning - Part 2 Jul 07, 2018

Part Two!!!

"Homelessness & the Free Haircut"... with Benjamin Dunning and Terese Howard, co-founders of Denver Homeless Out Loud, are brewing some relevant goodness on episode 88 (part 2 of 2). Benjamin and Terese talk about homelessness in the Mile High City. They discuss ways in which society "helps" the homeless, and how these acts of service so often do not address real, pressing needs. What good is a free haircut when the real jobs and the affordable homes are mostly unattainable? Benjamin and Terese speak about the difference between a meal for a day and a well paying job. Nobody brings jobs to the homeless community, but you can find a lot of job training programs for jobs that don't pay well. So what does this mean regarding our compassion towards each other when we bring aid that does not address real needs? And how can we identify real needs and truly meet them? The answers are pretty simple, and yet most Americans don't think about the healthier ways to tangibly help the poorest of poor in our country.

Episode 87: Exploring Paradox in the Religious & Secular World - Part 2 Jun 19, 2018

Ready for Part 2?!

“Next to a church profaned by its exclusion of otherness, a city of true diversity is a cathedral. Next to a Christian eclipsed by theological arrogance, an honest atheist shines like the sun". Quaker author Parker Palmer in his book, The Promise of Paradox, asks What sometimes causes such arrogance in a religion (Christianity) named for one who proclaimed, the meek shall inherit the earth? It is not unusual for discouraged or defeated modern Christians to look for light in the secular world when their Christian church community twists theology into dark esclusivity. Rob Carroll, Leah Brite & Matthieu Caldwell join Janel and Ryan in this discussion (part 2 of 2). Ryan's mother, Nancy Miller, joins the podcast as well. We'll discuss paradoxes in religion and the secular world which help those of us "searching" find more transcendent truth in our lives. Let's brew!

Episode 85: Prison Reform with Christie Donner - Part 2 Jun 04, 2018

Part DEUX!

Everything is theological... including this relevant topic: Transforming Safety: An alternative to mass incarceration through community engagement with Christie Donner (Executive Director for Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition). Ryan, Janel, Elizabeth and Randy have a phenomenal conversation on episode 85 (part 2) of the Brew Theology Podcast.

After thirty years of a "get tough" approach to crime that has fueled unprecedented levels of incarceration, communities most impacted both by higher rates of victimization and criminal justice involvement have seen little to no improvement; in fact, by many metrics these communities face even more problems. This discussion offers a different perspective on how to approach public safety that advocates for a larger role for community-based and community-led safety efforts through a discussion of two bills enacted by the Colorado legislature that were drafted and successfully lobbied by the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, including HB 17-1326 which created and funded a crime prevention pilot in North Aurora and Southeast Colorado Springs and HB18-1326 that funded community reentry programs to help people leaving prison.

Episode 83: Religionless Christianity - Part 2 May 21, 2018

Part 2!

Do you ever hear people saying, “I love Jesus, but not religion!”? We live in a spiritual, but not religious society, and it’s showing as we have seen a steep decline in church attendance throughout the decades, specifically from ages 22-35 (Millenials!). In Episode 83 (Part 2 of 2), we (Janel, Ryan, Andy, Kelly, Eric and Rob) hash out paradoxical ecclesiology (study of the church), channeling 20th C. practical theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. What does it mean to have a religion-less community of faith? Let’s brew!

*Jennifer S. Leath joined the Iliff faculty in 2015 as assistant professor of religion and social justice. Leath’s research concentrates on the intersection of sexualities and religions in sacred communities and spaces of African Diaspora. Her scholarship also engages the intersection of Afro-Diasporic women’s spiritualities and social activism. Bridging concerns of religious ethics and African American studies, much of her current writing and teaching focuses on the sexual ethics and economies of historically Black churches and Afro-Diasporic religion in the United States.

Committed to interdisciplinary scholarship, Leath is preparing her first monograph, “Childcare Activists: Reframing Afro-Diasporic Faith from the Home to the Streets,” which actively engages the intersection of the spiritualities, activism, and secular childcare work of Afro-Diasporic women in the United States. She has also begun work on a second monograph, titled “From Black to Quare (and then) to Where: Ethical Trajectories of Black Sexualities.”

Professor Leath’s other research and teaching interests include the metaphysics of womanism, African and Afro-Diasporic approaches to sexualities in political economies, ecumenisms of the “global south,” the intersections of Buddhist and womanist thought, and interdisciplinary approaches to interreligious dialogue. Prior to joining Iliff’s faculty, Dr. Leath was a 2014-15 research associate and visiting lecturer at Harvard Divinity School’s Women’s Studies in Religion Program. She also helped to establish the Center on African American Religion, Sexual Politics & Social Justice at Columbia University, working as the assistant director of research after completing her doctoral work. In addition to her research, she is an active member of various academic communities, including the Society for the Study of Black Religion, the American Academy of the Religion, and the Society for Christian Ethics.

Dr. Leath is also an Itinerant Elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church where she has served as pastor in White Plains, New York and in Media, Pennsylvania, and she has served as an associate pastor at churches in Philadelphia, New York, and New England.

Episode 79: "Go To Hell!" Part 2 Apr 23, 2018

I don't think we've ever laughed this hard recording a BT episode! Horror meets comedy in "Go to Hell!" Part 2.

See why Janel hypothetically still thinks some toxic people deserve hell (if there is one), and why "heretical" Ryan just wants some more grace and restoration, and says, "to hell with hell"... then simply understand why it's really hard to "lose hell" due to the tribal loyalties, to speak. Check out why Diana's Buddhist tribe is more scared of the Xian conventional hell, and get down with Dillon as he lays down the real elements regarding the hereafter (in the Bible)!

So, what is Hell? Well, see Part 1 (episode 78) for that part... Often, it is described as a fiery pit presided over by a pitchfork wielding devil who watches gleefully as capering demons torment the souls of the damned. Though this particular image stems from more Christian-oriented descriptions of Hell, the idea of Hell itself is not specific to Christianity. Many cultures and religious traditions talk about an afterlife wherein the souls of the wicked are punished for their earthly misdeeds. The threat of Hell has been used for thousands of years to encourage things such as proper social behavior and faithfulness to a particular religious tradition and while some may disregard these threats as antiquated superstition, Hell nonetheless continues to loom large in the popular imagination. Whether through Hieronymous Bosch’s nightmarish paintings the Robot Hell from Futurama or simply the use of phrases like ‘...is my personal hell’ most people have an understanding of Hell as a place of suffering.

Join Brew Theology on episode 79 (Part 2 of 2) when Ryan, Janel, Dillon and Diana continue the convo, have a bit too much fun brewing up some hell theology, and discuss the variety of viewpoints from different religious traditions.

Episode 78: "Go To Hell" Part 1 Apr 16, 2018

Go to Hell! Why does this phrase still scare or insult us? What is Hell?

Episode 77: Unconscious Theology In Political Turmoil Part 2 with Dr. Tad DeLay Apr 09, 2018

In episode 77, Ryan Janel and Dan continue the conversation with Dr. Tad DeLay (Part 1 of 2) about psychoanalysis, theology and politics. Hello "BIG OTHER" and End Times theology as well. We live in an era of turmoil, which is slowly drowning out the religious, economic, and cultural orthodoxies that pledged their allegiances to a sinking cause. Through the lens of psychoanalysis and philosophy, DeLay explores the repressed theology underwriting our social and political drive to repeat failed patterns. By examining the figures of the cynic and the fool, we will ask: why do we feel as if a big Other commands us to see the world a certain way?

Episode 75: St. Patrick & Celtic Christianity Mar 26, 2018

Whether we gaze back 1,000 or 2,000 years ago, history is fashioned from the ground up, especially within the down-to-earth Celtic monastic movement. The monks not only gave us the sacred origin of happy-go-hoppy home brewing, but they also gave the church timely disciplines and spread rich values in a time when the surrounding world needed to look a bit more like Jesus. Contrary to the popular idea of separating from the “secular” world, these ancient ascetic hermits actually fled the floundering and comprising “church” world. In episode 75, Ryan and Janel team up with Mark, Terry & Andy for a brewtastic convo about St. Patrick and Celtic Christianity! Time to raise a pint to Patrick and brew some Celtic theology!

Episode 74: Will The Real Evangelicals Please Stand Up?! with Dr. David Buschart - Part 2 Mar 20, 2018

Part 2!

While the word, "evangelical," may come across as a bad word in many western circles, nobody can deny that the evangelical movement has been a powerful force within the United States on many levels throughout the years. On episode 74 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Dr. David Buschart, associate dean and professor of theology and historical studies at Denver Seminary, speaks about Evangelicals and Evangelicalism: “Who are ‘Evangelicals’ and What Do (and Don’t) They Believe”...
· This idea is prompted by the near-blizzard of references to “evangelicals” in mainstream media during and since the presidential election season.
· In an irenic spirit, Dr. Buschart offers a description of some of the history and (more) the theological beliefs of evangelicals. Buschart brings something of “an insider’s” perspective. In the process, he describes and acknowledges the diversity within and some of the weaknesses of evangelicalism, while giving an affirmative presentation of what evangelicalism at its best—not every individual person or church—is.

This is Part 2 of a 2 part conversation with Dr. Buschart.

Eisenbaum, an expert on early Christianity, reveals the true nature of the historical Paul.

Episode 66: "Is The Bible True?" with Dr. Pamela Eisenbaum Part 3 Jan 08, 2018

Brew Theology is still brewin' the goodies in this sweet month of January 2018 with Dr. Pam Eisenbaum. Episode 66 is Part 3 of a 3 part series with Pam alongside Janel Apps Ramsey, Rob Carrol and Ryan Miller. Dr. Eisenbaum is an amazing human being who loves rooting for the San Antonio Spurs (God's Team), and she's happens to be a pretty rad Jewish scholar that lives in THE Mile High city! We've talked about Midrash, the Talmud, political tribalism, postmodernism, Hellenism, evangelicalism, Parker Palmer, and much more. We dabble into some personal stories (Ryan, Rob & Janel get raw as Pam flips the table and asks them questions about their faith journey). This 2nd part of this podcast ends with Pam talking about myths regarding the Bible. And you'll see why we need a part 4, 5 and 6 down the road. Pam's destined to come back!

As a professional biblical scholar, people often ask Dr. Eisenbaum “is the Bible true?” It may be framed as a yes-or-no question, but in fact it is a complicated one, and for reasons many people haven’t thought of. In the following episosdes we will explore some of the reasons why it’s complicated, and how to think about the question differently.

Across the faith spectrum, music can be found just about everywhere you look. But it's many forms are as diverse as the religions, denominations, and communities that engage with it.

Episode 62: #MeToo with Janel Apps Ramsey Dec 12, 2017

Two weeks ago, the Denver Brew Theology community met at Grandma's House Brewery and talked about #MeToo. It was a challenging topic, but one that we knew we needed to meet about and try to cover. Needless to say, there was no way to cover everything. But we gave it a shot.

As a result of that evening, Janel has recorded a podcast to also cover some of the material. This is definitely not everything we did, nor is it a comprehensive episode. But we hope that it opens up the topic and creates room for healthy listening and dialogue.

This podcast is probably PG13, in that there are a few stories about things women have experienced.

Janel would like to thank several people for their contributions. Dr. Christy Sim is a domestic violence expert who helped with the resources and layout of the evening. Dr. Kara Lyons-Pardue is a professor of NT who helped me with liturgical resources. Lyndia Radice is an experienced Social Worker who also helped make sure this discussion was helpful and healthy.

Janel thanks Ryan for reflecting on his own experiences in the church around this topic along with Baird (Janel's husband) for talking with the Denver community about HR policies. As always, a BIG thank you to Dan Rosado for being the best podmaster ever!

Following are a list of resources referenced in the podcast or used in our discussion. If you would like to host your own discussion please reach out and let us know.

If you were triggered in any way and need someone to talk to, please reach out to Janel or Ryan. Or you can reach out to these other agencies or Dr. Sim.

The National Domestic Abuse Hotline: 1−800−799−7233
National Suicide Hotline: 1-800-273-8255 or chat

Episode 53: Power of Proximity Part 2 with Michelle Warren Sep 24, 2017

"We can see evidence of injustice all around us, whether in continuing incidents of racial inequality or in the systemic forces that disenfranchise people and perpetuate poverty. It's important to learn about the world's inequities and to be a voice for the voiceless any way we can. But in an age of hashtag and armchair activism, merely raising awareness about injustice is not enough. Michelle Warren knows what is needed. She and her family have chosen to live in communities where they are "proximate to the pain of the poor." This makes all the difference in facing and overcoming injustice. When we build relationships where we live, we discover the complexities of standing with the vulnerable and the commitment needed for long-term change. Proximity changes our perspective, compels our response, and keeps us committed to the journey of pursuing justice for all. Move beyond awareness and experience the power of proximity." - Michelle Warren* (Power of Proxmity)

This is Part 2 of 2 with Michelle Warren talking about her latest book, Power of Proxmity. Janel, Ken, Rob and Ryan had a great time recording this show with Michelle. Enjoy episode #53 of the Brew Theology Podcast... & cheers, friends!

Episode 50: Culture, Worldview & Difference with Dr. Tink Tinker Sep 03, 2017

Episode 50 of the Brew Theology Podcast features Dr. Tink Tinker, Ph.D. (wazhazhe/Osage Nation)
Baldridge Professor of American Indian Cultures and Religious Traditions - Iliff School of Theology. After this episode, I encourage you to sit down with some friends and talk about the following quesitons (in a pub would be nice!). What is the difference Tinker posits between worldview and ideology? How then would each of these impact the development of language in a socio-political whole? Are people really able to choose their worldview? Or are they really only choosing between ideologies (without demeaning the importance of this later)? How big is the range of “difference” within what Tinker identifies as the euro-christian worldview? Is it possible for two disparate worldviews to find an amicable balance within any given socio-political whole? Have we not often enough found it difficult enough for differing ideologies to live side by side? Say marxism and euro-christian, democratic capitalism? If the choice is between an up-down hierarchical schema of reality and the collateral-egalitarian model Tinker identifies as the traditional Native model, what might be the benefits of each? The benefits of the colonialist model for Native communities? The benefits of the egalitarian model for White settler folk? How does one determine “truth” when it comes to determining whose worldview ought to dominate a socio-political whole? Finally, what then is God?

This is a great episode, and we are proud to send it to your earbuds, friends.

Episode 48: Mental Health - The Elephant In Every Room - Part 2 Aug 21, 2017

Part 2... Go to a pub, and take a look around the room. Take it in. What do you see? Do you see the young professional so saturated in fear and worry that they are terrified of being found out as a fraud just like their mind has always said they were? Can you spot the functional alcoholic so desperate for relief from the weight of hopelessness and depression that they are deciding if this is the night that they end it all? What about the social outcast trying to interact with a group of acquaintances and missing every social cue getting eye-rolls and hushed comments about how odd they are?

Though you may not notice any obvious tells, the reality is that they, and many others, are there struggling with their own mental health conditions. Mental Health America (MHA) reports that 1 in 5 adults in America have a mental health condition, over 40 million people. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that number rises to over 300 million people worldwide. In addition, over half of those Americans with conditions have not received treatment.

Episode 47: Mental Health - The Elephant In Every Room - Pt. 1 Aug 14, 2017

Go to a pub, and take a look around the room. Take it in. What do you see? Do you see the young professional so saturated in fear and worry that they are terrified of being found out as a fraud just like their mind has always said they were? Can you spot the functional alcoholic so desperate for relief from the weight of hopelessness and depression that they are deciding if this is the night that they end it all? What about the social outcast trying to interact with a group of acquaintances and missing every social cue getting eye-rolls and hushed comments about how odd they are?

Though you may not notice any obvious tells, the reality is that they, and many others, are there struggling with their own mental health conditions. Mental Health America (MHA) reports that 1 in 5 adults in America have a mental health condition, over 40 million people. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that number rises to over 300 million people worldwide. In addition, over half of those Americans with conditions have not received treatment. On Episode 47 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Shane, Janel, Baird, Christina & Jeff brew up the relevant topic: Mental Health (Part 1)!

Episode 43: Gifts of Imperfection Jun 26, 2017

“Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we be able to discover the infinite power of our light.” - Dr. Brene Brown

Brene Brown's 2010 TED talk, "The Power of Vulnerability," is one of the 10 most viewed TED talks online. Brown stumbled into the idea of Wholehearted living as part of her social research on how shame impacts the way people live. She experienced what she refers to as her breakdown/ spiritual awakening.

In Episode 43 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan, Janel, Meghan, Robb & Stef dive into some vulnerable dialogue dealing with courage, compassion and connection. What does it look like to cultivate a life of authenticity, self-compassion, a resilient spirit, gratitude and joy, intuition and trusting faith, calmness/ stillness, and meaningful work along with laughter, song and dance?

Episode 42: Show Me The $$$: Economic Justice Jun 20, 2017

From the Neolithic Revolution (the period in which Hunter-Gatherer proto-societies began domesticating crops and livestock) leading all the way to the present, the political, theological, andeconomic spheres of life have almost always been inseparably entwined with one another. This has proved at times to be incredibly helpful for those who control land and resources, while simultaneously being the cause of great pain and oppression for marginalized communities.

What do you see as the current relationship between our religious, political, and economic leaders? What is different between the structuring of the Egyptian and Roman Empires, and our current political/religious/economic context here in the US?

Episode 39: Holy Grub: Food & Religion May 30, 2017

In Episode 39 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Holy Grub is served. Janel, Andy, Meghan & Liz brew up an always relvant topic: food and religion. Food and Religion are routinely interwoven into the fabric of cultures. Far from being separate entities, a religion’s perspective of, use of, and beliefs about food and consumption help define norms, practices, and habits surrounding eating, and manifest in a wide range of practices around the world. For instance, Hindu’s reverence of cows helped shape an entire culture of people who revere and protect cattle, often leading to violent cultural clashes between local Muslims for whom cow is one of the few halal – or allowable – types of meat in which to eat. Or, for instance, take the Catholic observance of Lent, which for devotees, encourages an abstinence from red meat at times, while also employing an elaborate metaphor (or is it?) about eating and drinking the flesh and blood of their savior.

All of this and so much more...

Episode 37: Atonement Theories Part 1 May 15, 2017

In episode 37 of the Brew Theology podcast, Ryan, Dan, Alex, Brian and Adam brew up the topic, "Atonement Theories." This is Part 1 of 2 episodes. This show is brought to you by Seedstock Brewery. If you dig this episode and/or other Brew Theology shows, give this episode a share, rate Brew Theology on iTunes and give BT a brewtastic review!

So, what’s atonement?

Maybe you’ve heard it best understood by the English, “At – ONE – ment”… meaning humanity being at “one” with the divine ONE! This is a good place to start. I’d add the original Hebrew, “Kaphar,” which is where we get the word, “atone,” literally meaning, “to cover.” This comes from the covering of Israel’s sins on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16). Next, theories of Atonement are explanations from scholars over the past 2,000 years who have tired to explain the mystery of what happened to Jesus and this world: past, present and future on the cross!

Many Christians have been taught (Or it’s simply been infused into modern, Western Christianity through sermons and worship songs) only one popular atonement theory. Interestingly, when one does the research, we find that this popular theory wasn’t even in existence within the first 1,000 years of Christianity. Theories are sincere, speculative explanations based on subjective opinions, involving careful intelligence in academia, experience in real time, historical criticism, and a community of good 'ole fashioned “butt kickers."

In episodes 37 and 38, we cover the following:

- Ransom Captive
- Union With God
- Satisfaction
- Penal Substitution
- Christus Victor
- Moral Exemplar
- The Last Scapegoat
- God's Solidarity

Episode 30: "Barrel Aged Gospels" with Dr. Craig Blomberg Mar 26, 2017

Ready for some barrel-aged theology? Ever had a drink from Matthew, Mark, Luke & John? Anyone who grew up in the Christian church was heavily influenced by the writings from these Gospels. In fact, these ancient texts have influenced civilization for two millennia. But are they reliable? How can we trust documents from 2,000 years ago that were written many decades after the life of Jesus? Remember the game of telephone as a child? Did the earliest followers of Jesus fabricate stories of a life that never existed, or were they carefully crafting stories that are highly reliable and worthy of our respect today? Distinguished New Testament theologian, Dr. Craig Blomberg* brewed up some barrel-aged goodness on Episode 30 of the Brew Theology Podcast!

Episode 24: "Buddhist Christians, a "Holy" Mistake & Road Blocks in Church History" with Dr. John Cobb Feb 13, 2017

In episode 24 of the Brew Theology Podcast we are live in Redondo Beach at #TheologyBeerCamp with Dr. John Cobb. If you are unfamiliar with Dr. Cobb’s work, you will definitely want to dig in after listening to this Jedi Master unveil some theological #BOOM on the mic. Cobb breaks down a bit of experiential pluralism via Buddhism and Christianity to begin our conversation, engages in some Wesleyan dialogue and carefully navigates through 5 key developments in church history that have blocked appreciation and a priority of Jesus’ own teaching, thus hindering the relational accessibility of moving into a dynamic relationship with Abba/ Father as seen in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

In Episode 22 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan, Janel, Liz & Alex interview Amanda Henderson from the Interfaith Alliance of CO.

As we walk into 2017 with an unknown political and social future ahead, many of us are concerned about oppression, marginalization and division ahead - especially for those who are most vulnerable. How will we respond? How will we build movements of resistance and resilience? Amanda Henderson, Executive Director of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado, guides us to explore how the first step to building a new world of radical justice and hospitality is to 'Gather our People'.
Who are 'our people'?
What does it look like to strengthen 'our people'?
Who are those who aren't 'our people'?
What is the risk and benefit of focusing on 'our people'?

This episode is relevant, indeed... Cheers!

Episode 20: "Rogue One" - A Hanukkah Story Dec 23, 2016

In Episode 20 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan and friends - Meghan, Liz, Dan & Shoshana - brew up an Hanukkah episode just in time. Yup. The original Rogue One Star Wars Rebels were Jewish. Let's finish the holiday season spinning the dreidel, lighting the menorah & digging into the liberation movement of Hanukkah then and NOW... Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the miracle of the oil. It is an 8-day celebration that commemorates a Jewish victory over tyranny and begins on the lunar month Kislev 25 (Dec. 24 sunset–Jan.1 sunset ‘16/ ‘17). The Hanukkah story is found in 1 Maccabees (apocrypha), and is the story of how Judas Maccabee and his band of freedom fighters overthrew the Seleucid forces under the rule of Antiochus “Epiphanes” during the 2nd Century BCE. Hanukkah is not a biblical festival recorded in Hebrew Scriptures as it began after the last books of the Scriptures were completed. However, it is recognized in the Christian New Testament (John 10), as we see Jesus going to the temple on this holiday. (It is unclear if he ate potato latkes and doughnuts after his visit that day.).

Episode 16: "Devils & Demons" Dec 05, 2016

In Episode 16 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan and friends - Janel, Chris, Monica & Liz dive into the abyss of darkness and talk about their experiences and theology with devils and demons.

Dana Carvey’s classic, Church Lady skit on SNL from the 90’s brings us to the hilarious and haunting question, “Could it be SATAN?” Perhaps you’re familiar with John Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” which describes Lucifer’s descent from the heavenly realm. Maybe you’ve been Bedazzled by Elizabeth Hurley, the sly princess of darkness released in 2000. How about Al Pacino’s stellar performance in “The Devil’s Advocate?” There’s no shortage of red-horned, culturally devilish goodness. The conversation of Satan and demons has been around for thousands of years. Some want to label the “demonic” and/ or “satanic” as simply aspects to address liberation theology, tangibly rescuing those held in oppression. Others seem to talk of the supernatural in literal terms, and in so doing, dismiss the conversation and application of human-based delinquencies and social change. What about you?

Episode 13: "God IS or is NOT..." Nov 14, 2016

In Episode 13 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Janel, Kyle, Piper, Dan and Baird nerd out with conventional labels of God while seeking to dive into those meanings and deconstruct them. Often, one hears, “The Bible says it. I believe it. That settles it.” This “Bible says it…” motto is always wrapped in a particular understanding of the Bible. We’ll unpack 4 specific words scholars have given God that will be reexamined from many angles. After genuinely grappling with these godly attributes, some will keep these conventional labels. Others have already shed them. Some will look at them a new for the first time. There are biblical and historical reasons for the labels we’ve given God, and what we think/ believe and say about God/ god/ gods/ G-d is always played out in how we live and move and have our being… Yes! Theology is practical! Perhaps you’ll add and subtract some new hops and barley as you include some of your own wild yeast in your own Brew Theology group...

Immutable = The belief that God doesn’t change.

Impassible = The belief that God doesn’t suffer or show emotion.

Omnipotent = The belief that God is all-powerful.

Omniscient = The belief that God is all-knowing.

Episode 11: "Theodicy" - The Problem of Evil, Pain & Suffering Oct 31, 2016

For thousands of years humanity has wrestled with suffering. Buddhism starts with the noble truth that all of life consists of suffering. Aching for meaning and seeking religious insight, humans have grappled with karma, and brought theodicy – attempting to answering the questions of why a good deity permits the materialization of evil – to light in an age of uncertainty, doubt and confusion. While suffering is relative, and in some cases easier to make sense (i.e. working out and working hard has a “pain” component), the deeper questions ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” &, “Do all events have a purpose?” Is God all powerful and able to stop A, B or C? Then Why...?

In Episode 11 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan and friends - Vlad, Amanda, Andy & Kyle - hash out the most age-old and relevant questions regarding trauma. God is on trial, indeed...

Enjoy the episode, friends. & Share the hopilicous brew.

Episode 10: "Check Your White Privilege" Oct 24, 2016

In Episode 10 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Janel Apps Ramsey hosts a stellar show with friends (Nena, Alex and Baird) that will challenge you on many levels. What do we mean when we talk about white privilege? Is there a widely accepted definition? Is white privilege circumstantial? What about those white people who do not feel as though they have had preferential treatment because of their skin color? What about Obama? He is black, AND THE PRESIDENT! Wait a minute... What does this have to do with Theology?

Enjoy the episode, friends...

Episode 9: "Rags To Riches" Oct 17, 2016

In Episode 9 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan, Andy, Amanda, Vlad & Kyle hash out liberation theology. What do you think about the phrase “Preferential Option for the Poor”?
Although many people in the United States experienced the 1960s and 70s as a time of peace and prosperity, the same cannot be said for the global community. With the Cold War ramping up, leaders in the east and west both vied for resources, forged unstable alliances, deposed leaders, and fought proxy wars around the globe in order to secure their seat at the top. Unsurprisingly, those hit hardest were the economically and politically disenfranchised. As a result, Liberation Theology was birthed & has had significant rippling effects giving birth to black liberation theology, etc.; it spread to other religious groups and there are now Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, and many other liberation theologies that have taken root around the globe. Put in your ear buds, grab a pint or two & liberate you minds with good convo in eclectic & respectful community.

Dr. Miguel De La Torre Interview: Liberation Theology Oct 10, 2016

In Episode 8 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan, Kyle & Liz interview world renowned ethicist and leading liberation theologian, Dr. Miguel De La Torre. Dr. De La Torre speaks about his theology of hopelessness, the posture of "para joder," and Jesus using this method with the systems of power ("para joder" is Spanish for "screwing with"); even "The Satan" comes up this fun, liberating, brewtastic show. ///

Episode 7: "Pluralism" Oct 02, 2016

In Episode 7 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Ryan and friends (Dan, Janel, Stephen & John) tackle pluralism. Religious Pluralism is defined as "the acceptance of all religious paths as equally valid, promoting coexistence." When we "brew theology" together each week in Denver, we do so in a pluralistic context. What does pluralism say about "truth?" Is tolerance truly feasible? Can monotheistic traditions accept real pluralism? Why believe in anything if that's the case? Can you hold onto your particular faith/ religion and still be embedded in a pluralistic culture that is in sync with a "common good?" Are there "ultimates?" Can you take a bit of "this" and "that" and "co-exist" with a new flava' of spirituality? Do all paths lead to ___________ (whatever "that" is). I'm sure the "heresy" thing will be brought up too... Enjoy, friends.

Episode 6: "Patriotism & Protest" Sep 25, 2016

“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” – Colin Kaepernick (QB, San Francisco 49ers)

Many critics are livid! Others are cheering him on! Do these types of protests even make a difference? Can you be a patriot and a protestor at the same time? What does it mean to break down a protest, theologically?

In episode 6 of the Brew Theology podcast, Ryan Miller and friends, Janel Apps Ramsey, Dan Rosado & John Reynolds hash out this hot topic... We'd love to hear back from you. Enjoy.

Free Will Vs. Determinism Sep 12, 2016

You walk into the brewery looking forward to another evening of stimulating god-talk and a delicious beer. After saying hello to fellow Pub Theologians you make your way to the bar to order. After looking over the choices (Imperial stout or the IPA?) you decide on the stout. You think that you have made the choice free from any internal or external agent and that you could have chosen the IPA instead. But have you? Where do your thoughts lie regarding free will?
Where do these beliefs come from?
Your religious upbringing?
A feeling of having free will? Or...?
In Episode 4, Ryan invites his friends, Peter, Monica, Dan & Daniel to the table... Was this crew determined to be together, or did they choose it? That's still debate... Enjoy & share the brew!

"Transgender" with special guest, Paula Williams Sep 06, 2016

Why do you think so much of the population finds transgender people to be, in some way, threatening? Is it because of a lack of understanding, or is something else at play? In this episode of Brew Theology, Ryan Miller and some Denver friends (Craig Broek, Liz, Wolfert, Stef Madison & Meghan Ramirez) sit down with special guest, Paula Williams, and talk about all things, "transgender." Put in your earbuds, crank up the volume, and get ready to brew theology, my friends.* To contact Paula and read her zesty material, check out her website.

Feminism & Unconscious Bias Aug 28, 2016

Statistics show that when women and men interview for the same job blindly and asked for extra compensation or bonuses; when the interviewers find out their gender “they were 28 percent less interested in hiring the female candidate. They also judged her as 27 percent less likable.”

The challenge when confronting these biases is that the more we know other people have them, the less likely we are to try to change them in ourselves. When we find out other people have biases too, changing ourselves doesn’t almost seem so important. We are seeing this response in children as they are watching abuse go mainstream in the election. (Like current concerns with kids as they watch Donald Trump.) Other studies show that these biases are so entrenched that as the number of women in a profession grows, the compensation goes down - after all, if a woman can do it, it can’t be that complicated or important, can it?

Change begins with us...
In Episode 2 of the Brew Theology Podcast, Denver pub theologians, Liz Wolfert, Meghan Ramirez, Alex Mikulas and Janel Apps-Ramsey along with Ryan Miller dive into this relevant and hot topic.
