God is NOT a Man... & other Not-So-Shocking Things You Learn in Religion 101 Jul 08, 2014

Show notes

Get ready for part 2 of 'Ten Not-So-Shocking Things You Learn in Religion 101'. The first half was pretty exciting and things don't slow down here.

In this episode Tripp is joined again by Greg Horton, ex-pastor and undergrad religion professor in Oklahoma to look of a list of 10 Not-So-Shocking Things You Learn in Religion 101.

Greg Horton was one of the inspirations behind starting the podcast. Tripp have stalked him online for a long time and then we got to have some fun in person on my visit to Oklahoma. It was turned into this popular episode of the podcast. Then he came back on the podcast to share 10 Dirty Secrets About Being a Minister. Way back when he had a podcast called ‘the Parish’ on the wired parish podcast network. Back then he was an emergent Christian and has since left the building. Throughout his journey I have loved following his blog,hearing about his undergrad religion and ethics students, and thinking through some of the serious criticisms he has leveled against the church. Plus he also does some wine reviews.

10 Not-So-Shocking Things You Learn in Religion 101 Jun 20, 2014

Show notes

Tons of people that are 'religious' would be shocked if they just took a religion 101 class. The divide between the academic study of religion is so huge that the experience of many students in their first religion class is disorientating. I don't think this is because religion professors hate religion and want to ruin people of faith's confidence. Largely it is evidence of just how poor our religious communities educate their members. In this episode I am joined by Greg Horton, ex-pastor and undergrad religion professor in Oklahoma to look of a list of 10 Not-So-Shocking Things You Learn in Religion 101. Well we get through half of it in this episode. Next week we will finish

Spirit and the Effects of Trauma: Shelly Rambo May 30, 2014

Show notes

Callid had the opportunity to sit down and talk with constructive theologian Shelly Rambo. In their conversation they walked through some of the major points of her book Spirit and Trauma. In the course of the recording they talked about Derrida, the psychology of trauma, non-linear time, and zombies. Good stuff.

She makes clear that her work is not a self-help project, but a reconsideration of our insistence on the climax of Christian faith being the resurrection. She does not deny the resurrection at all, but she asks why we are so ready to skip over Holy Saturday and the time when Jesus was dead. This is a book not just for people who have been directly challenged by traumatic events, but for anyone who wants theology to more holistically address human experience.

You're going to like this, deacons.

TNT: The Resurrection, Divine Knowledge, & Other Todd-Picks Apr 29, 2014

Show notes

his is a very special edition of the Theology Nerd Throwdown. Not only does the BoDaddy try to provoke me (theologically speaking) toward a rowdy defense of the resurrection but we have a very special guest - Todd Littleton. Todd is the greatest Southern Baptist Minister on planet earth. He is also the technical brains behind our High Gravity online classes, pastor to the HBC Deacon of the Year, & now officially an Elder.

Hence forth all ye Homebrewed Christianity Deacons shall know Todd Littleton as Elder of the Okie.

Over the course of the episode we discuss the nature of the resurrection, the divine attributes, the function of doubt in faith, atheism as a spiritual practice, the church and its obligations to the poor, the World Vision debacle, and a number of other goodies. Here's the blog post where Bo provoked the first segment. It was a blast to have a group of local Deacons in the room hanging out after we finished the High Gravity session on Mary Daly. If you are ever visiting LA tweet us up & maybe we will have a recording you can join in on.
