Christian Piatt of the Homebrewed CultureCast was recently in SoCal to hang with Tripp Fuller and talk about his new book PostChristian: What’s left? Can we fix? Do we care? They were joined by Bart Campolo, Peter Rollins and Benjamin Cory to talk about the implications of moving on. Imagine this as an a living room conversation in an auditorium. It was a ruckus affair but we wanted you to hear the first part of the evening where they all shared how they come to the conversation. We have live events coming up in November at AAR in San Diego on Friday night – plan to join us with Catherine Keller, John Cobb, and Jack Caputo there! We will also be at Christianity21 this year in Phoenix (January 22-24) and at this year’s PMYC ! This episode is going out as a cross-pollination experiment on both the CultureCast and TNT streams.

March 2014 in San Diego TransFORM provided Homebrewed with three firsts: The debut of a new gameshow “En Fuego!“ Joerg Rieger says nice things about capitalism Tripp lost a preach-off (to Peter Matthews pictured right) We had a blast catching up with old friends and meeting tons of new folks. Rebekah Berndnt and Micky Jones were great contestants for En Fuego! and Joerg Rieger was a good sport for Bo’s pro-capitalist chiding. You will hear plugs for George Fox Seminary and Chalice Press – both sponsors at the time. Check out Joerg Rieger’s books here and make sure to come to our upcoming live events at AAR in November, at Christianity 21 in Phoenix (January), and at Progressive Youth Ministry in Chicago (March).

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.

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.

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. *** If you enjoy all the Homebrewed Christianity Podcasts then consider sending us a donation via paypal.

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!! *** If you enjoy all the Homebrewed Christianity Podcasts then consider sending us a donation via paypal.

Ahmed (@woodylovesJesus) & Tim ‘the Elder of Hops‘ (@timothytalks) visit the throw-down! This TNT was recorded after the Hobbit LIVE video-cast with Gregory Walter. Suffice to say, it was a rowdy affair. We start with a 3 minute challenge for Tripp to answer each of Process Theology’s big concerns. The 3 of us then judge him after each round. The 2nd question relates to drugs and tragedy. The 3rd question is about the gender of God. You might want to skip to the 8th min when the action really starts. In minute 38 we change things up.

You may want to check out Bo’s old post on Calling God She and She Who Is Not as well as Elizabeth Johnson’s Barrel-Aged podcast about the Quest for the Living God.

Santa & Jesus aren’t white, Christmas isn’t about Capitalism, the Pope isn’t a Marxist leftist, the Christian Calendar is a hardcore form of resistance, and you find out that Roger Olson’s own student turned Tripp into a Process theologian. That is just a bit of what is in store for you in this special Christmas episode! Tripp planned on just getting a TNT segment out of his chat with Adam… then they just kept talking… and it turned in to a Christmas present for all the Deacons. Dr. Adam English, author of The Saint Who Would be Clause and Remixing Theology, is professor of Religion and Philosophy at Campbell University.

A cast of two halves! In the first half Bo and Tripp respond to 3 letters from listeners. Then we get a call with Micky Jones about choosing a seminary (43rd minute) – and when we come back for the 4th and final letter things get a little rowdy.

Follow Jonnie on Twitter. Jonnie joined my in the HBC Headquarters in Redondo Beach. In the podcast we start discussing the resurrection exchange between Marcus Borg & Tony Jones [aka ToJo] & then end up on the necessity of a physical resurrection, atonement, eschatology, evangelical’s Easter concern, and Pannenberg. Attempting to fill in for the BoDaddy is a difficult task but Jonnie did a pretty good job. I think I will let him back on the TNT w/ the BoDaddy so Bo can make sure we actually stay on topic. You will notice I actually start a couple lists of theological options and then get distracted by Pannenberg and John Cobb. The BoDaddy is a pro and knows to limit such theological temptations. During the podcast we drank the Burning Bush IPA and gave a shout out to 350.org for climate change info. In the podcast we discuss these books: 1) Bodies and Souls, or Spirited Bodies? & Beyond Liberalism and Fundamentalism by Nancey Murphey 2) Jesus: God & Man by Wolfhart Pannenberg 3) Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time by Marcus Borg 4) Old Testament Theology by Gerhard von Rad Come Join Tripp & Jonnie for the Conference and Craft Brewery Fun. *** If you enjoy all the Homebrewed Christianity Podcasts then consider sending us a donation via paypal.

In this bonus track Bo chats with Micky Jones about the now infamous Rachel Held Evans post on CNN Religion about young people leaving the church. Then Bo and Tripp chat about what the topic means as youth pastors at Mainline churches. These two conversation were originally recorded earlier this summer as part of a bigger conversation that never came together … but instead of just getting rid of the audio, we wanted to use your responses to frame a future episode of the TNT.

After a Summer break, Tripp and Bo catch up for 18 minutes – then they get down to business! HyperTheist is a term that holds a lot of potential for rupturing the problematic binaries that we have inherited in theology. The first installment of this conversation was last Summer between Tripp and Callid. This is part 2. Next week will be part 3.

This edition of the Theology Nerd Throwdown is a smorgasbord of subjects – a cornucopia of concepts – a torrent of topics… you get the idea. First up is the 30 second definition blind challenge when Bo has to define 3 terms or concepts. This week’s words are: anointing, perichoresis and glossolalia. Then we chat with Micky Jones about the concept of post-cynical christianity suggested by Jim Wallis. We take a little break for the High-Gravity broadcast and then pick up with the Bible & Tillich, Hegel, and Process. Our guest this week was Jonnie Russell who guest blogged last week. He was visiting for the High Gravity conversation. One production note: Bo forgot to bring the Mp3 call with Micky for Tripp to hear – so he is commenting blindly. THEN something went wonky with the sound and Bo’s audio on the call to Micky was muted so all of Micky’s comments were edited together to sound like a unified piece. Blogs that will be tied into this episode will be: Micky’s post on post-cynical christianity Bo’s pentecost’s initial aim and historic drift a Radical Theology cliffs-note *** If you enjoy all the Homebrewed Christianity Podcasts then consider sending us a donation via paypal.

This is a live Theology Nerd Throwdown from my visit to Oklahoma City. It was hosted by the local Mutiny Reading group under the leadership of Damien Parks and Todd Littleton. During the evening I talked for an hour about Philosophers loving on Paul, played some tunes, & then got GET interviewed by Greg Horton! Greg Horton was one of the inspirations behind starting the podcast. 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. Greg is an intelligent hard a$$ and it was a real honor to get taken to task by him. He wasn’t as rough as he was with Paul Young so I only hope next time I get the harsh treatment! When I got back from OKC I had over 5 hours of audio from the live podcast and the follow interview with Greg. What you hear is the 90 minutes of the fun. Then evening was lubricated by the Mad Farmer Brewing extraordinaire Charlie who brewed up my Midnight Saison recipe – Dasein! This Stud Sponsored the Podcast! This episode is sponsored by Jason Micheli over at the Tamed Cynic. Go check him out and thank him for keep the show running! *** If you enjoy all the Homebrewed Christianity Podcasts then consider sending us a donation via paypal.
