Youth Ministers, the Niebuhr Revival, @pastormark & Other Goodies #PYM14 Apr 13, 2014

Show notes

Jonnie, Tony Jones & I were lucky to bring the Homebrewed Christianity heat LIVE at the Progressive Youth Ministry conference. This episode includes some of the excitement that was had. It kicks off with a tasty interview with DePaul professor of religion, theo-blogger & Moltmaniac Scott Paeth. We discuss his new book (which is awesome and easy to read) The Niebuhr Brothers for Armchair Theologians, the Hauerwasian Mafia, and the future of progressive Christian ethics in America. Then Tony Jones and I had a serious battle of au contraire mon fraire... Tony Jones did not win. That was great BUT... little did we anticipate Jonnie would secretly orchestrate his victory with a statement that blew our mind.

If that wasn't enough we had Trey Pearson of Everyday Sunday & Carter DJ-ing the show & post-pod dance party...oh yeah that happened... Our wonderful host 4th Presbyterian & John Vest were amazing & even arranged to have some delicious Revolution Brewing & Goose Island beer at the celebration.

Chalice, the TNT publishing partner, also did some awesome give-away fun at the event.

Why Write a Liberal Theology? w/ Douglas Ottati Apr 07, 2014

Show notes

Why write a liberal theology? That's a good question & we got an interview size answer! Buckle your theological safety belt because this episode is going to get seriously awesome. If you remember Dr. Ottati's last visit to the podcast then you are already excited! Professor Ottati is the Craig Family Distinguished Professor in Reformed Theology and Justice Ministry at Davidson College in North Carolina. He is one of the best communicators I know. Not only is he a top-notch nerd but he has a strong love for the church and bringing theological goodness into local congregations.

PS. Ottati rocks the name game with a level of skill that rivals Jurgen Moltmann's fun with Tony Jones and I.

On top of the most awesome first volume of Theology for Liberal Protestants you can check out Theology for Liberal Presbyterians and Other Endangered Species, Reforming Protestantism: Christian Commitment in Today’s World, and Hopeful Realism: Recovering the Poetry of Theology.

Phyllis Tickle LIVE 3D & Au Contraire Mon Frère II Mar 14, 2014

Show notes

Phyllis Tickle was at Fuller Seminary for a talk about her new book "The Age of the Spirit". She then came over to (a)Spire to have a pint with us. This was no ordinary pint! Tripp brewed 'The Grain Emergence: a 500 year rummage ale'.

We do some Q & R with Phyllis - then Barry Taylor chats with her. Then we played "Au Contraire Mon Frère II" with Tripp and Tony. Round 3 will be in Chicago at the Progressive Youth Ministry Conference later this month.

This is a rough-cut edit. That means that a couple of swear words made it through the filter ... and that some things removed for public conception.

We want to thank Andy and his team plus all those who helped to make this event happen and to those who came out and made this an amazing night. PS Claire also brought some amazing home brew. That was tasty.

We also want to wish Phyllis a Happy 80th Birthday!! Follow the podcast, drop a review, send feedback/questions or become a member of the HBC Community.
