Homebrewed Christianity Podcast

Tim and Josh joined Tripp and Bo for the John Caputo book release broadcast and stuck around afterward for a TNT.  This is a rollicking, swashbuckling style of conversation for 44 minutes - then the topic turns to ministry contexts and the tone changes a little bit. If you are looking for books to read this year HERE are a couple of suggestion from Bo. Follow the podcast, drop a review, send feedback/questions or become a member of the HBC Community.

We had a Homebrewed Book Party for Jack Caputo. It was almost 2 hours of nerdy excitement covering his new book The Insistence of God, questions raised on the Book Tour, and even a little taste of his next book, Truth (which you can already get on the Kindle).  After you enjoy this podcast you should go check out the Barrel Aged podcast with Caputo.  It was awesome.

The 20th century was an amazing time for the doctrine of God. All of a sudden the church unleashed a bunch of voices previously silenced to hear their testimony, explorations & experiences of God... and theology got so much better.  Legendary Catholic Theologian - Elizabeth Johnson - is on this episode of the Barrel Aged Homebrewed Podcast.  We discuss her book Quest for the Living God  which is simply one of the best introductions to theology I know.  It is super readable, intellectually honest, and energizing for the theo-nerd brain.  I have given this book as a gift to a bunch of my friends and constantly get told "wow that was way too clear for a theology book!" With over 5 years of interviews under out belt – having gone from just friends listening to 50k – realizing that there are a ton of people who can’t get the best interviews from the past – let us introduce you to Homebrewed Christianity Barrel Aged podcast. I will be re-releasing the best interviews from the early days, super-short new intros,

Bo sat down with J. Ryan Parker last month after they were given a sneak-peek at the movie 12 Years A Slave. After a review of the merits in the movie-making elements of the film, the talk turns theological.  If you haven't seen the movie, you may want to skip to the 13-14 minutes mark to avoid some big spoilers.  Around the 38th minute mark is when things turn theological. You can find Parker's review over at Pop Theology [here] You can find Bo's theological reflection [here]  This week’s episode is sponsored by The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology.

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

After a Summer break, Tripp and Bo catch up for 18 minutes - then they get down to business!

One of the highlights of Wild Goose Festival 2013 was a panel discussion organized by the Human Rights Campaign and hosted by Dr. Sharon Groves, the director of HRC's Religion and Faith Program. In Groves words, "2013 will go down in the history books as one of the most pivotal years for religious leaders working on justice issues. People of faith in unprecedented numbers were instrumental in bringing about the tremendous gains the LGBTQ community has enjoyed, culminating in the Supreme Court decision to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). People of faith also saw the gut-wrenching losses to sacred Civil Rights legislation, most particularly in the Supreme Court’s other decision to dismantle the Voting Rights Act, for which many have given their lives. The effects of these two decisions rest heavily on our collective conscience and forces us to recommit to Civil Rights activist Bayard Rustin’s core organizing tenet that 'we are all one.'"

When Brian McLaren calls and says, "Tripp you gotta record this & share it.  I think James is gonna be gold." then you do it.  This episode is a conversation between James Alison & Brian McLaren.  It took place as part of a Raven Foundation event that explored how the work of René Girard could transform our understanding of the Christian story, atonement, violence, politics and more. Brian McLaren is podcast regular, activist, author, and emerging church pioneer.  James Alison is a Catholic theologian, priest, and author who identifies as gay who developed Jesus the Forgiving Victim, a program of induction into the Christian faith for adults, following on from the insight into desire associated with René Girard.

There are things only ministers know about being a minister.  They aren't all pretty & they can even lead you to leave the church and possibly the faith.  You get to hear 10 Dirty Secrets About Being a Minister with our guest and ex-pastor now a skeptic Greg Horton. Greg Horton was one of the inspirations behind starting the podcast.  I 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.   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. In this Episode Greg and I discuss his top ten list of things about being a minister you just don't know or understan

Peter Blum is the author of For a Church to Come: Experiments in Postmodern Theory and Anabaptist Thought.
